Regulations in China
2. Health foods
Health food regulation under articles 75-79 and 82-83 has been augmented by new administrative measures on the registration and filing of health food, health food labelling, and a new list of permitted raw material and health functions.
“Article 75 articulates requirements to develop a positive list of functional food ingredients,” says O’Brien.
“Other changes include simplified market access procedures for nutrient supplements involving record filing and simplification of the registration requirements for health foods proper (Article 77).”
