China: China Published Final Standard for Egg and Egg Products

On November 13, 2015, China’s National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) released the National Food Safety Standard for Egg and Egg Products (GB 2749-2015). This standard will be implemented on November 13, 2016. It applies to all kinds of poultry shell eggs, including products processed by storage methods assuring the quality of fresh eggs such as refrigeration, immersion, coating, disinfection, controlled atmosphere and dry storage, and also applies to liquid egg products, dried egg products, iced eggs products and other processed egg products using fresh eggs as major raw material, with or without complementary substances. A draft of the standard was notified to the WTO as SPS CHN 473 in August 2011. Please note that the comment process has ended and that this standard is considered final. The following report contains an unofficial translation of the final standard.
