China Unveils Administrative Measures for Supervision of Food Labeling, Complementing GB 7718-2025 to Strengthen Labeling Oversight

On March 27, 2025, State Administration for Market Supervision (SAMR) released the Administrative Measures for Supervision of Food Labeling. The Measures are designed to regulate the labeling practices of food manufacturers and operators, ensuring that food labels are clear and informative for consumers. Specific labeling requirements, such as font size, are not covered under GB 7718-2025 and are instead outlined by the Measures. The Measures will come into effect on March 16, 2027.
