"On March 3, 2025, China's National Health Commission (NHC) released a new regulation titled ""National Food Safety Standard: General Rules for Nutrition Labeling of Prepackaged Foods"" (GB 28050-2025). This regulation, effective from March 3, 2025, aims to standardize nutrition labeling on prepackaged foods to enhance consumer awareness and promote healthier dietary choices. Key updates include: Mandatory Nutrient Information: Labels must display energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and sodium content per 100g or 100mL. Voluntary Nutrient Information: Additional nutrients such as saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, dietary fiber, sugars, vitamins, and minerals can be included voluntarily. Nutrition Claims: Any nutrition claims made on the packaging must comply with the specified conditions outlined in the regulation. Labeling Format: The regulation provides detailed requirements for the presentation of nutrition information, including font size, color contrast, and placement on the packaging. This regulation replaces the previous standard GB 28050-2011 and aims to align China's nutrition labeling practices with international standards."
