Which departments should you contact to apply for a food brand?

To apply for a food brand, you must first have a business license and how to register a trademark. So, which departments should you go to for the entire process?

1. If you do not have a business license, you must first apply for a "Food Production License" or "Food Business License" from the food and drug regulatory department. Then go to the local industrial and commercial department to apply for a "Business License".

The food quality and safety market access system includes three specific systems.

The first is to implement a production license system for food production enterprises. Enterprises that have the production conditions and can produce food quality and safety will be granted a "Food Production License", otherwise they will not be allowed to produce food. This ensures that companies can produce food that meets quality and safety from the production conditions.

The second is to implement a compulsory inspection system for the food produced by the enterprise. Food that has not been inspected or failed to pass the inspection is not allowed to leave the factory for sale. Production enterprises that do not have the conditions for self-inspection are forced to implement commissioned inspection. This helps to control the factory quality of products.

The third is to implement a market access marking system for products subject to the production license system. Food that has passed the inspection must be affixed or printed with the QS mark. Food without this mark is not allowed to enter the market for sale. This will facilitate identification and supervision by the public and law enforcement agencies.

You may also need to apply for other documents:

1. For example, if you are a food processing company and have refrigerated transportation business, then your transportation vehicle must apply for relevant transportation certificates or business licenses. Qualification certificate, the refrigeration equipment used in your cold storage, or other related machines, requires the quality supervision department to issue a "Special Industry Use License". If the refrigeration raw materials involve dangerous goods such as liquid ammonia, you also need to apply for relevant licenses from the safety supervision department. etc.

2. After you have a business license, you can go to the Trademark Office to apply for a trademark.

3. You can choose to entrust an agent to handle the matter. There are professional agencies that can handle the registration of companies and trademarks, which saves you the trouble of running around in various departments.

If the trademark is entrusted to an agency, the formal and legal agency must be registered with the State Trademark Office, which can be found on the website of the State Trademark Office. Brand
