Early every morning, the quality and freshness of food are tested, and every delivery vehicle has GPS in it, so it is possible to check the position of the vehicle, temperature, and delivery status in real-time. The GC/MSD equipment in the safety testing room in the center can closely inspect pesticide residue for safety tests of agricultural products.
