As per the proposed updated GB 13432, nutritional components of infant formula (0-6 months), foods for special medical purposes (FSMP) for infants (0-12 months), and other FSMP products shall not bear content claims or function claims. For prepackaged foods for special dietary uses, excluding baby formula and nutritionally complete formula FSMP, it is newly required to remark saturated fat (or saturated fatty acid) and sugar with the contents on the label. Margin of error for labeling nutritional components and exemptions for labeling items are also revised.
As revealed by a notice1 released on December 23, 2022, China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) is soliciting public opinions on GB 13432 National Food Safety Standard Labeling of Prepackaged Foods for Special Dietary Uses.
