China Consults on Health Function Catalogue for Health Food (2022) and Other Supporting Documents

As per Food Safety Law, China implemented the catalogue management system for health food functions, and released the corresponding Administrative Measures to regulate the formulation process, inclusion criteria and adjustment of health food functions in 2019. Later in 2020, China State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) released Health Function Catalogue Allowed for Health Food Claims Non-nutrient Supplement (2020 Draft) (hereafter referred to as the Catalogue) and a series of supporting documents for public comments. On Jan. 13, 2022, SAMR opened the new drafts of the Catalogue and four supporting documents for public feedback. Any comments can be sent to baojiangongneng@cfe-samr.org.cn prior to Feb. 12, 2022.
