On 19 June, the FSMP Advisory Committee (Sub-working Group) and Paediatric Nutrition (Sub-working Group) sent an advocacy letter to MIIT on the implementation of GB 23350-2021 Restrictions on Excessive Packaging Requirements for Food and Cosmetics.

The advocacy letter suggested that the new standards should be implemented based on the date of manufacture and different k-values should be set for different types of food for special dietary uses and packaging forms. It is recommended that the definition of aerated packaging should be clarified to ensure market stability and efficient supervision.
