On January 23, 2021, SAMR issued the corresponding interpretation of the Catalogue of Health Food Ingredients Coenzyme Q10, Melatonin, Fish oil, Spirulina, and Sporoderm-broken of Ganoderma Lucidum Spores Powder. The Catalogue has been issued on December 1, 2020, and it will come into effect on March 1, 2021. Therefore, these five substances become the first batch of functional health food ingredients. Previously, Antion has already carried out the interpretation on the Catalogue, for more information please click the link at the end of the article. The corresponding interpretation further clarifies the relevant provisions of the Catalogue, which highlights the following points:
1. Formula Composition
These five health food ingredients cannot be used together with any other health food ingredients in the Catalogue, only single-formula products can be filed (note: melatonin can be used together with vitamin B6). When vitamin C and vitamin E are used as auxiliary ingredients, the dosage should in line with the Available Auxiliary Ingredients and the Use Regulations for Filing Health Food (2021 Edition)
2. Permitted Health Function Claims
When these five health food ingredients are taken filing, the health care functions should be labeled in accordance with the corresponding health care functions in the Catalogue. The permitted functions of coenzyme Q10 includes strengthen immunity and antioxidation, the filing person can choose one of the functions for labeling, or label both functions.
According to the Catalogue and the corresponding interpretation, it can be seen that health food is gradually shifting from a registration system to a filing system, however, it must meet the filing requirements during the transformation.
