Last month, DDL issued an apology concerning Beijing’s local market regulator’s order to "fulfill food safety responsibilities," according to a government announcement. A company spokesperson said that the company had immediately ceased operations of the questionable facilities to allow inspection. The spokesperson added that "Dingdong has since conducted an investigation into all of its frontline fulfillment stations and processes to ensure all standards are strictly enforced."
