According to Yaozhi data, as of January 14, 2022, there are many products that claim to have these functions, details are as follows: Data source: Yaozhi data The companies involved include China Resources Sanjiu, Beijing Tongrentang and other enterprises
.
However, in addition to these health care functions that will be cancelled, many products also contain other functions such as immunity enhancement and beauty

2.
Retain 24 health care functions such as "enhancing immunity", and adjust and standardize the expressions accordingly

4.

.
If the original functional evaluation is based on the "1996 version of the evaluation method", the corresponding functional test items need to be redone or supplemented
.
Health function claims correspond to the adjustment specification table Health function claims correspond to the adjustment specification table The policy supervision is gradually deepened, and the differentiation of health food begins! According to the State Food and Drug Administration: Health food refers to food with specific health functions or for the purpose of supplementing vitamins and minerals
.
That is, food that is suitable for consumption by specific groups of people, has the function of regulating body functions, is not for the purpose of treating diseases, and does not cause any acute, subacute or chronic harm to the human body
.
Health food in China is mainly divided into two categories: nutrient supplements and foods that claim to have specific health functions
.
"Nutrition supplements" are for the purpose of supplementing vitamins and minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, iodine, iron, zinc, selenium, VA, VC, VD, VE, B vitamins, -carotene, folic acid, amino acids, protein, Dietary fiber and other nutrients in health food
.
Health food is allowed to claim the 24 specific health functions mentioned above
.
The most fundamental difference between health food and medicine is that health food is not aimed at treating diseases, has no definite therapeutic effect, and cannot be used to treat diseases.
Functions are no longer included in the purported health function catalog
.
Li Tianquan believes that the introduction of this draft will reshape the health care products industry
.
On the one hand, the introduction of this document will hit many companies that do not meet the specifications, and many products will be forced to stop production
.
There are still many products that need to adjust the claimed health care function, and make a functional test, and some companies that cannot afford the cost of rectification will also withdraw from the market
.
China's health care products industry will gradually become standardized under strong supervision
.
On the other hand, "nutrient supplements" will get more attention from enterprises
.
The target of this supervision is non-nutrient supplements, and the state is liberalized on nutrient supplements.
In the future, the health care product industry may be more and more inclined to nutrient supplements, which is also in line with international standards
