China: PRC Calls for Comments on Addition of Liquid Formula Milk to Food Safety Law

On January 19, 2024, China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) released a letter soliciting public comments on an update to the Food Safety Law. The revision added new registration requirements for liquid formula milk for infants and young children. Among the major revisions, the product formulas must now be registered with SAMR. The draft revision has not been notified to the WTO as of January 30, 2024. This report contains an unofficial translation of the revised draft law for comments. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the regulation and provide comments before the February 19, 2024 due date.
