Description: Based on document G/TBT/N/CHN/1827
that notified on February 12, 2024, the standard has
1. Removed the requirements for font height, the producer
information for domestically produced food, the net content, and the labeling
requirements for multi-layer and combination packaging. The relevant content is
proposed to be separately regulated by the SAMR.
2. Deleted the definitions of attribute names, use-by date
and food claims, as well as the specific requirements for food claims in
Appendix E.
3. The labeling requirements for the production date have
been modified. For pre-packaged foods with a shelf life of more than 1 year and
a maximum surface area of the packaging not exceeding 20 cm², just indicate the
shelf life and the expiration date, and there is no need to indicate the
production date.
The detailed modification content is provided in the
standard text.
