28 Feb 2024 --- China is the latest Asian market to initiate a revision of pre-packaged F&B regulations governing the labeling of products, following similar actions taken in Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines in recent years. The upcoming regulation, set to take effect later this year, is expected to establish tighter control on pre-packaged food preservatives. The changes will also regulate labeling practices for both locally produced and imported pre-packaged food items, distinguishing between instant food and pre-packaged food categories.
