Quality Labels Required for Food Exports from 1 September |
Food exports must bear inspection and quarantine labels on their packaging or else they may not be exported after 1 September. According to an announcement recently published by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), all food exports that have passed inspection and quarantine by the entry-exit inspection and quarantine authorities must bear the "CIQ" (China Inspection and Quarantine) mark. However, this requirement does not apply to bulk food or food with packaging that cannot be so labelled.
|
The packaging must also carry information such as the producer's name, health registration number, product name, batch number and production date so that any quality problems can be traced to the source.
|
The measure applies to food such as aquatic products and their processed products, animal and poultry, wild animal meat and their products, sausage casings, eggs and egg products, edible animal fats and oils. Other matters relating to quality labelling will be handled in accordance with the Measures Governing the Administration of Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Labels.
