On November 19, 2015, China notified the WTO of the National Food Safety Standard of Pollen (an update of the GB/T 30359), issued by the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) as SPS/N/CHN/1009. This standard applies to granule/particle - like bee pollen and broken bee pollen collected by worker bees, artificially collected pine pollen and pollen products which use pollen as single raw material, made through selection, drying and sterilization. This standard does not apply to wall-broken pollen. The deadline for submission of final comments to China is January 18, 2016. The proposed date of entry is yet to be determined. Comments can be sent to China’s SPS Enquiry Point at sps@aqsiq.gov.cn. The following report contains an unofficial translation of this draft measure.
