New regulations for infant and toddler complementary foods are open for public comment, and the control of raw materials in the industry has been comprehensively upgraded.

        The new "Review Guidelines for the Production License of Infant Supplementary Foods" has been made public for public comments. This new regulation has set industry entry standards from multiple aspects such as raw material procurement, production processing, factory inspection, and allergen control. The new regulations clearly prohibit the addition of honey raw materials in infant supplementary foods to prevent the safety risks of botulism; it strictly prohibits the purchase of livestock and poultry raw materials from small-scale individual producers, strengthens the isolation management of multiple types of allergenic raw materials, and requires that the entrusted production model must clearly define the safety responsibilities of both parties. All factory products must undergo full-item and batch-by-batch testing. After the policy is implemented, the infant supplementary food industry will accelerate the elimination of small-scale and scattered production capacity, forcing the industry to develop towards standardization, refinement, and safety. The traceability system for infant supplementary foods will be fully rolled out.
