Asia Pacific: Decoding Probiotic Regulations for Food & Health Supplements
Background
China has become the second largest probiotic market in the world. The fast-growing probiotic industry has attracted many newcomers. However, there are still some improvements need to be done in China\’s probiotic laws and regulations. China has also issued a series of relevant laws and regulations to promote and regulate the development of the market. Jerry Wang talks about the major regulatory requirements for using probiotics in food and health supplements in China to help stakeholders ensure the compliance.
Apart from China, South Korea and Japan are also the main markets for probiotic food in the Asia-Pacific area. The increasing awareness of health and the boosting aging population accelerates the consumption of probiotic products. However, the ambiguity in the legislation of this food category creates difficulties in entering these two regions. In the third part of the webinar, Lorraine Li, ChemLinked senior regulatory analyst, will introduce the supervision situation and product standards of probiotics in South Korea and Japan.
