China: National Food Safety Standard Canned Foods Finalized
On March 27, 2025, The People’s Republic of China (China’s) National Health Commission (NHC) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) jointly released the National Food Safety Standard Canned Foods (GB 7098-2025). The updated final standard applies to canned food products produced and sold in China and stipulates requirements for ingredients, physical and chemical indicators, contaminants and microbial limits for the products. The final standard will enter into force on March 16, 2026. China notified the draft standard to the WTO on October 25, 2023. This report provides unofficial translation of the final standard. Stakeholders should conduct their own review of the regulations to assess any market or regulatory effect on their business.
