Chinese officials are stopping fake restaurants on food apps. These "ghost kitchens" are not real restaurants. They appear on apps but don't have real stores.
These fake shops send orders to other companies. These companies make the food cheaper. This helps the fake shops make more money. But the food may not be safe.
Officials found thousands of fake kitchens in China. Now, apps must check if restaurants are real. They must check licenses and addresses. Restaurants must show their real location online.
