Anne Peng
The CFSA proposed the approval of 9 new varieties of food additives and 5 additives and resins used in food contact materials.
On Oct 16, 2019, China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment (CFSA) published consultation drafts about 5 new varieties of food related products[1] and 9 new varieties of food additives.[2] Any feedback shall be submitted prior to Nov 12. The following table lists these 14 substances and their application guidance.
