 Food Packaging Regulations

China

Regulations on food packaging will take effect from January 1, 2013, in a bid to guide the public and reduce risks of chronic non-communicable diseases, according to China's Ministry of Health in August. The regulations will provide standard nutritional information on food packaging labels, through which consumers can directly identify a product's nutritional structure and ingredients. The content of four kinds of nutritional elements, including protein, fat, carbohydrate and sodium, as well as the calorie count, should be labeled on the packages.
