China: Prepackaged Food Labeling Standards Finalized
On March 27, 2025, China’s National Health Commission (NHC) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) jointly released the General Principles for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods (GB 7718-2025). This standard is a mandatory national food safety standard that provides basic requirements for the labeling of domestic and imported prepackaged foods of all categories. China has announced a two-year transition period for the enforcement of the standard. The standard will enter into force on March 16, 2027. China notified the draft standard to the WTO on July 11, 2024. This report provides analysis of changes affecting imported products and an unofficial translation of the final standard. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the regulation.
