On December 31, 2013, NHFPC promulgated ten National Food Safety Standards (Draft for Comment) including Determination of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, Mercury, Chromium, Copper, Zinc and Nickel in Foods using inductive Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) as the analytical standard. The period for public consultation is until February 28, 2014.
These standards are formulated with reference to relevant domestic and foreign standards. Detailed information of the ten National Food Safety Standards is as follows:
