China Solicits Public Opinions on Innovative On-site Inspection Methods for Infant Formula and FSMP Registration

After the release of China’s new infant formula GB standards and following supervision rules¹, the adjustment of infant formula recipes and the preparation of new recipe registration are in full swing. (All recipes need to follow the new GB requirements prior to Feb 22, 2023.) To overseas players, on-site inspection, a key step during the recipe registration, was their major hindrance to obtain the approval. Due to factors like geographic position, understaffed inspection team, pandemic, etc., it takes too long for overseas enterprises to receive an on-site inspection or to pass it.
