On November 2, 2026, ahead of the ninth China International Import Expo (CIIE), the Shanghai market regulation authorities fully upgraded the service functions of the self-developed "Food Safety AI Doctor." According to a report by Shangguan News the same day, the upgraded AI inspector has been connected to 145 surveillance cameras, scoring the kitchens of 55 catering units and 4 group meal supply enterprises at the venue in real time, and handling them by classification into three risk levels: low, medium, and high. The system closely monitors more than 30 operational details across three major aspects—environmental hygiene, process hygiene, and personnel hygiene—and its initial recognition accuracy has risen to 90.5%; regulators can also use a mobile phone to "snap and verify" by taking a photo, with the AI automatically identifying problems. Another report the same day stated that the Shanghai Municipal Administration for Market Regulation has embedded AI agents into the entire process of food safety, special equipment safety, and advertising inspections; the "Food Safety Smart Eye (Snap and Verify)" iterated from the food safety vertical large model is connected to 145 video feeds, and high-risk units scoring below 80 are inspected on-site by regulators.
