The classification of health care products, two of which are fortified supplements, belong to the category of food and need QS certification. If the active ingredient has a functional health care function, and it is between medicine and food, it needs to pass the national policy review, and it also needs the approval of health food or the certification of police tactical unit.
Because the certification of police mobile forces is being standardized, some health foods may not be certified, but they do not belong to the food field. As long as the indicators are qualified, they can still be circulated in the market and certified later.
Since 2008, all foods in China need QS label, and the so-called health food batch number is divided into food batch number and drug batch number in 2008. Even if there is no QS certification for this batch number, it is useless. You can't enter the supermarket without the QS sign!
Police tactical unit products are national health food marks approved by the US Food and Drug Administration! The special symbol of health food in China is sky blue and hat shape, which is commonly known as "police tactical unit" or "little blue hat" in the industry.
Health products are the popular name for health food. Article 3 of GB 16740-97 General Standard for Health (Functional) Foods defines health food as: "Health (Functional) food refers to a kind of food that has the characteristics of general food, can regulate human function, and is suitable for specific people to eat, but does not aim at treating diseases." Therefore, in the promotion of products, there can be no related words such as efficiency and success rate. In today's society, the health function of health food is gradually accepted by the masses.
Health products are the general name of Chinese mainland, and other areas are generally called dietary supplements. The logo color of health food is sky blue, and the words health food are written below the icon (see overview).
In the notice recently issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Health, it is stipulated that in visual advertisements such as movies, newspapers, printed matter, shops and outdoor advertisements, the area of health food signs shall not be less than 1/36 of the total advertising area. Among them, the diameter of health food signs in newspapers and printed advertisements shall not be less than 1 cm.
In recent years, with the development of economy and the improvement of living standards in developed countries, coupled with the progress of modern medicine, the life expectancy in the world has been rising. According to the statistics of 1982, the average life expectancy of Japanese is 77 years, that of the United States is 75 years, and that of other developed countries has also increased to 74-79 years. This phenomenon will inevitably lead to changes in the population structure, that is, the proportion of the elderly population is increasing.
