We hope to get more information about this, such as who need to receive the training and what does the 60 hours of training exactly mean.

These are clearly specified in Regulations of Shanghai Municipality on Food Safety and Measures for the Administration of Food Safety Knowledge Training and Assessment for Food Employees in Shanghai.
