Background


The year 2021 witnessed many significant regulatory updates in the Asia-Pacific region. In China, several significant food standards were released, such as the new GB standard for infant formula milk powder. It is noteworthy that GACC released two important regulations regarding imported food as well. South Korea has many critical regulatory revisions in 2021, regarding labeling requirements, food raw material inventory and the HACCP accreditation for overseas Kimchi factories. Japan also adopted new food additives and labeling requirements in the past year.

Global food stakeholders need to stay vigilant to cope with frequent regulatory changes, effectively address compliance challenges, and aim for great success while shouldering their social responsibilities. Therefore, ChemLinked has prepared this webinar to provide an overview of revised and emerging food regulations in the Asia-Pacific region over the year and help our clients analyze key regulatory points.

Notes: The webinar is free for all ChemLinked members, while the materials (slides + video) will be paid after the webinar is concluded. Or you can upgrade to ChemLinked premium member to obtain the materials for free.
