On April 18, 2025, the People’s Republic of China (China’s) State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) released the Announcement for Deployment of Inspection and Rectification Actions for Edible Vegetable Oils. Partially spurred by domestic food safety incidents in 2024, the announcement outlines how local and national authorities will work together to enforce regulations across the edible oil value chain, including production, sales, and transportation. The regulations apply to domestically produced and imported products, as well as products sold through online and offline channels, and local officials will intensify inspection and enforcement actions from April to December 2025.
