  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2023-0091

On June 1, 2009, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) released National Food Safety Standard for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) System for General Requirements for Food Production Enterprises (GB/T 27341-2009), which entered into force on February 17, 2009. This report contains an unofficial translation of the standard. This report is being published and shared by FAS China now owing to its relevance for several commodity sectors attempting to register as part of the PRC's Decree 248 facility registration requirements.
