Choline in infant formula milk powder (hereinafter referred to as "infant formula milk powder") for infants and older infants is adjusted from an optional ingredient to an essential ingredient; Prohibit claiming essential ingredients such as iron and zinc in infant formula milk powder for infants over 6 months of age; All products with nominal infant formula milk powder, including raw milk, milk powder, whey powder, and other milk proteins, come from sheep... Since the implementation of the new national standard for infant formula food (hereinafter referred to as the "new national standard") for one year, the formula of infant formula milk powder products has become more scientific and the labeling has become more standardized. The new national standard was announced on February 22, 2021. According to relevant food safety regulations, all infant formula milk powder enterprises are required to develop, adjust their formulas and re register according to the new national standard. Therefore, the new national standard has a transitional period of 2 years and will be officially implemented in 2023. Affected by the dual factors of concentrated application by enterprises in the short term and the epidemic, the State Administration for Market Regulation has innovated mechanisms, coordinated promotion, precise guidance, strict review of the scientific and safety of formulas, and on-site verification of the authenticity and consistency of registration application materials with the actual situation, fully promoting the new national standard registration of infant formula milk powder. The reporter learned from the State Administration for Market Regulation that as of now, a total of 1127 formulas have been registered, including 926 domestically and 201 overseas. 441 formulas have not been registered or have not passed the evaluation. The supply of infant formula powder in the national market is stable, public opinion is good, and the quality and safety situation continues to be stable. The pass rate of spot checks in the past three years has reached 99.9%, and the registration work according to the new national standard has achieved significant results. After registering infant formula milk powder according to the new national standard, it presents three major characteristics - a more scientific product formula. Enterprises will increase research and development investment in accordance with the new national standard requirements, absorb the latest research results in infant and toddler nutrition at home and abroad, optimize formula design, fully consider the growth and development characteristics of infants and toddlers in different age groups in China, and adjust the nutrient composition and content. For example, choline in infant and older infant formulas is adjusted from an optional ingredient to an essential ingredient; Added lactose content requirements in infant formula; All formulas with added docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have increased in dosage, making the formula more scientific. Label identification is more standardized. To better protect consumers' right to know, the registration of the new national standard for infant formula prohibits any claims of nutritional content for infant formula milk powder aged 0-6 months, and prohibits claims of essential ingredients such as iron and zinc for infant formula milk powder aged 6 months and above; All products with nominal infant formula derived from sheep, including raw milk, milk powder, whey powder, and other milk proteins, come from sheep; Infant formula milk powder produced by dry process using "base powder" as raw material shall not be labeled with fresh milk to prevent misleading consumption. Helping development more effectively. The new national standard has put forward higher requirements for enterprises. Some enterprises with weak research and development capabilities or weak market competitiveness have voluntarily withdrawn from the infant formula milk powder industry. About 20 domestic and foreign enterprises have not submitted or revoked their registration applications. The registration of the new national standard has played a positive role in reshaping the industry pattern and promoting high-quality development. The relevant person in charge of the State Administration for Market Regulation stated that they will further improve the registration and management of infant formula milk powder products, and continuously improve the quality and safety assurance level of infant formula milk powder.
