China Non-Compliant Food Data May 2017

National Entry-Exit Inspection Agency supervision work carried out on inbound goods reaching Chinese ports in May 2017 revealed that 451 batches of food products did not meet Chinese national food safety and quality standards. These food products were from 42 different countries/territories and belonged to 19 categories including cakes and biscuits, beverages and cereals. The most common reasons for failure were non-compliant labels, deviation from quality standards or failure to supply required certifications. All products mentioned were then either destroyed or shipped back to the country of origin.
