Detailed requirements will be uploaded to our China Food Additive Database [2] and our Flist (New Food Raw Material, Bacterial Cultures and FCM approved in China).

*ChemLinked newly launched a Food Additive Database. This database is a comprehensive compilation of over 2,500 permitted food additives in China (both regulated in GB 2760 and in the official notices) and their conditions of use. It provides up-to-date details about officially released requirements for food additives, helping you quickly access accurate regulatory data and navigate compliance challenges.
