In the production and operation of genetically modified food, the food label shall be marked with the words "GMO". In addition, words such as "zero addition", "special supply", "special" and "special needs" are also not allowed to appear on food labels. In order to standardize the labeling of food labels, the Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Labeling (Draft for Solicitation of Comments) are publicly solicited on the website of the State Administration for Market Regulation.

●The height of the characters on the production date and shelf life shall not be less than 3 mm

When I got a package of food, I couldn’t find the production date or the shelf life occasionally. I finally found the production date, but the handwriting was blurred. In the future, such situations will be expressly prohibited.

Where should the production date and shelf life be marked? The consultation draft clearly proposes that the production date and shelf life date should be marked prominently and can be printed on the packaging surface with white background; laser etching is used to mark the production date and shelf life date Yes, the text should be clear. The height of the characters of the production date and the quality guarantee date shall not be less than 3 mm. Where the shelf life of food does not exceed 72 hours, the date of production and shelf life of the food shall be marked in hours.

●Whether edible salt is "iodized" should be clearly marked on the package

Genetically modified foods have always been a focus of social attention. The draft for comments specifically proposes that the production and operation of genetically modified foods should be marked with the word "GM" on the food label. For non-use of genetically modified food materials, foods cannot be introduced with the words "GMO free", "non-GMO" or similar.

In addition, iodized edible salt and liquid milk produced from reconstituted milk also need to be clearly marked. If edible salt is iodized, the words "Iodized" shall be marked on the main display page of the food package and the iodine content shall be marked; if the edible salt is not iodized, it shall be marked "No iodine". Where reconstituted milk is used as a raw material to produce liquid milk, the words "reconstituted milk" should be marked in the immediate vicinity of the product name.

●Food labeling shall not emphasize that it is suitable for specific groups such as children and the elderly

The draft for comments puts forward that in the absence of laws, regulations, regulations and food safety standards, no words or patterns shall be used on food labels to express, imply or emphasize that the product is suitable for infants, children, the elderly, pregnant women and other specific groups.

What content must not appear on food labels? Explicit, implied, and related to disease prevention and treatment functions; for substances that are not contained or used in food, "no addition", "zero addition", "not containing" or similar words are used to emphasize that they are not contained or not used; the use has been registered The name of the drug is used as the name of the food; the use of terms such as "special supply", "special production", "special demand", "supervised production" and other words to introduce food, these are all "expressly prohibited."
