CHINESE authorities yesterday announced it is stepping up control of the quality and safety of health-boosting foods, drinks and treatments in an effort to address public concerns about safety.
New regulations will govern companies seeking to put products on the market that claim to have medical or physical benefits. Those filing false information will be denied access and blacklisted, according to a circular from the food safety committee of the State Council, China's Cabinet.
The circular said China will improve its monitoring and supervision of such products, including more frequent inspections. Products promising weight loss or relief from fatigue will be specially targeted, according to the circular.
The move comes after the State Food and Drug Administration on Thursday set up a committee in charge of such foods, drinks and cosmetics.
