The
additional 22 testing agencies will be responsible for evaluation and testing
of both indigenous and imported health foods.
The CFDA has announced the updated list of accredited testing agencies for Health Food efficacy testing. On the 5th of August the CFDA announced a further 22 governmentally sanctioned testing Institutes that have been selected for testing and scientific substantiation of the 27 health claims permissible under Chinese regulations bringing the total number of accredited testing institutes to 32.
In addition to approving the testing institutes listed below the selection of The National Centre for Food Safety Risk assessment was also made.
The testing
institutes have been selected based on their testing capabilities. China
requires pre-market approval of health food by CFDA and only testing reports
from CFDA-accredited agencies will be accepted for registration.
The
additional 22 testing agencies will be responsible for evaluation and testing
of both indigenous and imported health foods. Each registered testing agency
will be accredited to carry out testing for a period of 5 years beginning on
October 5th 2013. The battery of tests available at each agency corresponds to
its testing capabilities, so dependent on the specific claim being tested only
certain
Institutes will suffice. It is therefore extremely important to verify
the range of tests available at each Institute.
