Dear colleagues:
      Food Safety Law of the P.R.China promulgated in 2015, listed health food as a special food, and specified the implementation of health food registration and filing management system for the first time. Currently, "Measures for Health Food Registration and Filing", "Health Food Registration Review and Approval Rules", "Health Food Filing Guide (Draft)" and other documents have been published. New health food registration and filing policy is about to start.
      Everyone is responsible for the vitalization of the industry. In the process of establishing the above laws and regulations, many members of the Chamber of Commerce have spent a lot of time and energy on drafting and editing the previous versions. Many colleagues have worked day and night to make suggestions for the development of the industry in a timely manner. Here we express our gratitude to members and companies close to Chamber of Commerce! Today, the policy has been clear, but even for the colleagues participating in the whole process of building the law, may have different interpretation of the new regulations. Therefore, at this critical time of old and new policy transition, Guangdong Health Products Chamber of Commerce plans to hold a Special Food Regulations Promotion Meeting on July 5-7, 2017. In order to better understand the policy, and to ensure the smooth development of health food registration and filing, officials from China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) Special Food Registration Management Division and Center for Health Food Evaluation are invited to give speeches on interpretation of the relevant policies. Guangdong Health Products Chamber of Commerce warmly welcomes friends at home and abroad who are interested in Special Food to participate in this meeting. After the promotion meeting, your opinions and suggestions on the new policy will be collected, and be submitted to the relevant authorities for reference.
      In addition to health food, many company members in the Chamber of Commerce are also involved in food for special medical use, infant formula milk powder product manufacturing and sales. This meeting   has also specially invited officials of the Special Food Registration Management Division and Center for Health Food Evaluation, experts of National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center, to give speeches on food for special medical use, infant formula milk powder products management ideas and technical regulations interpretation.
      We look forward to your participation!
