GB16740—1997
In my country, health (functional) foods have a long history. Traditional Chinese health food and Chinese medicinal food have a history of thousands of years. In recent years, health (functional) foods have developed rapidly, and a large number of products have flooded the market. This standard is formulated to rectify and standardize health (functional) foods, strengthen management, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of production enterprises, and protect the interests of consumers.
The hygiene requirements (6.5) specified in this standard are formulated in accordance with the "General Hygiene Requirements for Health Foods" promulgated by the health administrative department of the State Council.
The labeling requirements of this standard are based on GB7719-1994 "General Standard for Food Labeling" and GB13432-1992 "Labeling of Special Nutritional Foods", and refer to the "Labeling Contents and Labeling Requirements of Health Food Labels and Product Instructions" promulgated by the health administrative department of the State Council. According to the characteristics of health (functional) foods, some labeling contents have been added.
From the date of implementation of this standard, enterprises producing health (functional) foods and applying for enterprise standards for filing with local technical supervision bureaus shall comply with the provisions of this standard. This standard is proposed by the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Food Industry. This standard is under the jurisdiction of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Food Industry. This standard is drafted by the drafting working group composed of the National Bee Products Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, China Agricultural University, China Institute of Food Fermentation Industry, China Health Food Association Technical Committee and the Secretariat of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Food Industry. The main drafters of this standard are Hao Yu, Li Zijian, Cai Tongyi, Chen Xiangkui, Qiao Tingkun; Lin Linan and Yang Xiaoming participated in the drafting.
