Background

China’s food labeling regulations play a crucial role in ensuring consumer safety and market transparency. For businesses involved in importing and selling prepackaged food, compliance is not only a legal requirement but also a key factor in maintaining brand reputation and consumer trust. The regulatory framework is complex, involving multiple authorities and evolving standards that require businesses to stay updated. Recent developments, including proposed revisions to GB 7718, indicate potential changes that could introduce stricter labeling requirements. Understanding these regulations and their implications is essential for companies looking to navigate the Chinese market effectively.

This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of food labeling compliance in China. The speaker will begin by outlining the regulatory framework and key authorities before diving into specific labeling requirements for imported prepackaged food, including mandatory and optional items, labeling claims, and additional requirements. The session will also highlight common non-compliance risks, illustrated through real-world case studies, and conclude with recent regulatory updates.
