China food registration:

Effective from 1 January 2022, the General Administration of Customs of the People's Republic of China (GACC) implemented changes to registration and labelling requirements for food processing and storage facilities handling food exported to China.

For plant products, these requirements apply to edible grains, milled grain products, malt, fresh-kept/preserved and dehydrated vegetables, dry beans, nuts, seeds, dry fruits, unroasted coffee and cocoa beans.

These requirements do not apply to fresh fruit, unprocessed wheat and unprocessed barley.

Further information on the registration and labelling requirements can be found on the Micor Plants Documents page.
