China: Draft National Food Safety Standard of Protein Determination Issued for Domestic Comments

On May 10, 2023, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) Food Safety Standards Monitoring and Evaluation Department of the National Health Commission (NHC) published an announcement soliciting domestic public comments on several draft national food safety standards. This report contains an unofficial translation of the revised National Food Safety Standard for Protein Determination, which is open for comments till June 30, 2023. Commodities involved include items like cereal and coarse grains, oilseeds, tree nuts, and eggs. The PRC will likely notify this standard to the WTO after completion of this domestic notice and comment procedure.
