Dear WG Member,
From the last few months of 2019, the food sector has seen important law changes: GB 7718 - General Standard for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods from the National Health Commission (NHC) and Measures for the supervision and administration of food labeling from the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR). The call for comments for the two laws have attracted much attention from a wide range of companies in the food sector and relevant discussions about food labelling have been ongoing ever since.
Following this, the Agriculture, Food and Beverage, Cheese, FSMP and PN Woking Groups are delighted to invite you to attend a working group meeting on food labeling in China, which will take place on Thursday, 23rd April 2020, from 15:00 to 16:40 in our Bejing and Shanghai offices as well as on Zoom platform. If you want to join the WG meeting off-line, please register as early as possible and label your participation method since the office capacity is limited considering the "social distance".
The European Chamber is pleased to invite Mr. David Ettinger and Ms. Jenny Li from Keller& Heckman LLP to share their insights. The speakers will present first an overview of the Chinese food labeling framework, then some amendment proposals of the food labeling requirements will be brought up and the session will end with looking to coping with the forthcoming food labeling changes. We will have a Q&A session right after the sharing for members to have interactions with the speakers.
