China: National Food Safety Standard for Fresh and Frozen Livestock and Poultry Products

On December 23, 2016, the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC, now the National Health Committee) and the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA, now SAMR) released the National Food Safety Standard for Fresh and Frozen Livestock and Poultry Products, which was implemented on June 23, 2017. The Standard applies to fresh and frozen livestock and poultry products, but does not apply to ready-to-eat raw meat products. The Standard replaced the National Standard for Hygienic Standards for Fresh (Frozen) Meat of Livestock (GB 2707 – 2005) and some indexes in the National Standard for Fresh and Frozen Poultry Products (GB 16869 - 2005). This report contains an unofficial translation of the standard.
