Background

The global food industry saw notable regulatory developments in 2025, with changes impacting product compliance across multiple regions. In China, landmark standards, GB 7718-2025 and GB 28050-2025, were released, bringing comprehensive updates to general labeling rules and nutrition labeling requirements for prepackaged foods. In Japan, authorities updated the Food Labeling Standards with new rules on additive labeling, nutrient reference values, and requirements for Functional Claims (FFC) notifications. In South Korea, regulators amended the Food Labeling Standard to expand the scope of foods requiring nutrition labeling.

The constantly evolving regulatory landscape makes it essential for global food stakeholders to closely monitor compliance requirements. To support this need, ChemLinked has prepared this webinar to provide an overview of revised and emerging food regulations across key markets in China, Japan and South Korea in 2025, while also offering guidance on anticipated developments in 2026, helping industry stakeholders address regulatory complexity and make informed strategic decisions.
