What are the changes in food labeling in 2022

New changes in the labeling of imported health foods and special dietary foods

01 Imported health food and special dietary food

On April 12, 2021, the General Administration of Customs issued Order No. 249 (on the promulgation of the "Measures for the Administration of Import and Export Food Safety of the People's Republic of China"), which stipulates in Article 30 that Chinese labels for imported health food and special dietary food must be printed on the minimum sales packaging and cannot be added. It will be officially implemented from January 1, 2022.

Sports nutrition food with Chinese labels

Starting from January 1, 2022, the above-mentioned sports nutrition food with Chinese labels will not be allowed to be imported. Before negotiating import procurement, importers need to communicate with foreign merchants to print the Chinese labels on the minimum sales packaging of the two major categories of food, to avoid customs clearance delays or inability to import due to non compliant labels after the goods are transported to China.
