China: Nutritional Labeling Standards for Prepackaged Food Finalized

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2025-0074
On March 27, 2025, the People's Republic of China's (China's) National Health Commission (NHC) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) jointly released the General Rules for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods (GB 28050-2025). China has announced a two-year transition period for the enforcement of the standard, which will enter into force on March 16, 2027. Nutrition labeling is an important component of food labeling that provides required nutrition information and claims for the prepackaged foods excluding foods for special dietary uses. Nutrition labeling of imported prepackaged foods should follow the provisions of this standard. China notified the draft standard to the WTO on October 22, 2021. This report provides an unofficial translation of the final standard. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the regulation.
