Experience authentic Spanish Mediterranean flavors at MERCADO505, taste authentic Korean street charcoal barbecue at Nampodong Meat Shop, and try handmade Italian pizzas at Allatorre Le Yi Fang... On the evening of June 29, the 2024 Shanghai Global Food Festival, the Bund Global Food Market and the opening ceremony were unveiled at BFC Bund Maple Lane. Following the "May 5 Shopping Festival", the 2024 Shanghai Global Food Festival will seamlessly connect to the "Summer of Shanghai" International Consumption Season. In the future, it will continue to bring a wonderful food feast to citizens and tourists through activities such as the Shanghai Taste Afternoon Tea Awards, the International Cheese Culture Festival, and the Catering Trend Release Ceremony.
At the opening ceremony of the 2024 Global Food Festival, new tea and dairy brands such as Bawang Chaji, Nayuki's Tea, Tims, Heytea, and Bright Dairy advocated for the "Nutritional Choice" label. The "Nutritional Choice" grading label was developed by the Shanghai Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It refers to domestic and international standards, takes into account the distribution of beverage nutrients and the beverage intake of the population, and comprehensively grades beverages according to the content of non-dairy sugars, non-sugar sweeteners, saturated fats, and trans fats in beverages. The grading ranges from A to D, with the degree of recommendation decreasing.
In general, AB-rated beverages contain lower levels of sugar and/or fat, while CD-rated beverages contain higher levels. This classification provides a reference for consumers to choose food according to their own circumstances. The health department said that the beverage classification pilot will last for one year, during which it will fully collect suggestions from all parties, strive to improve the classification standards, set norms and supervision mechanisms, and summarize experiences and application models to provide a basis for promotion decisions by relevant departments in Shanghai and the country.
At the event, the Shanghai Municipal Market Supervision Bureau set up an exclusive service area for "You Order, I Inspect". The market supervision departments at the city, district and station levels worked together to invite consumers to "select" the food varieties, inspection items, sampling sites and other opinions and suggestions they want to inspect online and offline, and to carry out expert interpretation, food safety science popularization, rapid testing, and legal publicity, building a communication bridge between the market supervision departments and the public, and effectively protecting the "Shanghai taste".
From June 29th to June 30th, the Global Food Market was held simultaneously, bringing together more than 90 Chinese and foreign restaurants from more than 20 countries and regions around the world. Landmark restaurants and famous Chinese and foreign chefs competed to shine, kicking off the "Feast on the Tip of the Tongue" of the "Shanghai Summer" International Consumption Season.
