Speed of Health Food Registration Approval is Rapidly Increasing
With the implementation of the Administrative Measures on Health Food Registration and Filing, the approval of health food registration products was almost stagnant in China. In the whole year of 2018, only 10 products were approved for registration. The new changes in health food registration policy and China’s state institutional reforms are the key reasons for the significant decrease.
Since 2019, the approval of registered products has increased greatly compared with 2018. As of October 22, a total of 668 products were approved in terms of new product registration (181 products), registration renewal (414 products), registration alteration (55 products) and technology transfer (18 products), as shown in the figure 1 below.
Overall, comparing to 2018, China's health food registration approval work has been steadily carried out in this year, and the number of products backlogged in the technical review stage is decreasing. It is expected that more products will get the registration approval in succession.
