1. Identity recognition information: Clarify the "legal identity" of the product

This type of information serves as the core distinguishing mark between health food and ordinary food or drugs, and it must be prominently displayed in the same area of the packaging.

Exclusive logo for health food (blue hat)

The sky-blue "Blue Hat" pattern must be marked on the top right corner of the packaging. This is the statutory exclusive logo for health food. Products without this logo are not considered as regular health food.

Product Name

It must be completely consistent with the registered/filed name, consisting of the trademark name, generic name, and attribute name. The three components must not be labeled separately, and the font, color, and font size must be unified. For example, "XX Brand Calcium Vitamin D Chewable Tablets" cannot emphasize "Calcium Vitamin D" alone and weaken the brand information.

Registration number / Record number

Products approved by the state are labeled as "Guo Shi Jian Zi G (domestic)/J (imported) + 4-digit year + 4-digit sequence number"; products registered are labeled as "Shi Jian Bei G (domestic)/J (imported) + administrative division code + 6-digit sequence number", which is equivalent to the "ID number" of the product.

II. Information on main responsibility: Clarify the principle of "who produces, who is responsible"

Information related to production and operation

The name, address (actual production site), and contact information of the manufacturing enterprise must be indicated; if the production is outsourced, the information of both the entrusting party and the entrusted party must be indicated. For imported products, the country (region) of origin, the name and address of the domestic agent/importer must be indicated.

Food production license number

Domestic products must be labeled with the food production license number of the actual producer (in the format of "SC+14 digits"); imported products may omit this number, but they must provide an entry inspection and quarantine certificate.

III. Product attribute information: Clarify "what it is and how much there is"

Net content and specifications

The net content shall be indicated as the total mass/volume of the sales unit (e.g., "Net content: 60g"); the specifications shall indicate the parameters of the dosage unit (e.g., "Specification: 1g/tablet" or "20 tablets/box"), and standardized units of measurement shall be used.

Ingredients and Nutritional Information

Ingredients: Listed in descending order of content, including all raw materials (such as probiotics, plant extracts) and food additives (such as sweeteners, preservatives);

Nutrition Facts Table: The table should list the energy content, core nutrients (such as protein and vitamins), and NRV% (Nutrient Reference Value percentage) in a tabular format. It must include five major elements: header, name, content, NRV%, and a box.

Product Type

Nutrient supplements must be clearly labeled with the words "Nutrient Supplement"; other types of products must be labeled with their attributes (such as "soft capsule" or "granule").

IV. Target audience and efficacy information: echoing "who is suitable and what can be done"

This part needs to directly correspond to the logic of "suitable/unsuitable population" you have previously understood, and strictly follow the "non-treatment" principle.

Suitable and unsuitable groups

It is necessary to clearly list the scientifically verified applicable populations (such as "people with high blood sugar") and the risk populations to be avoided (such as "infants and pregnant women"), without omitting the unsuitable populations mandated by regulations (such as labeling alcoholic products as "not suitable for patients with liver disease").

healthcare function

The efficacy must be consistent with the registration/filing, and only expressions permitted by regulations such as "regulating intestinal flora" and "aiding in improving sleep" can be labeled. It is strictly prohibited to involve disease prevention and treatment functions (such as "lowering blood pressure" and "treating diabetes").

V. Usage guidance information: Clarify "how to use and how to store"

How to Use and Serving Size

Indicate the specific method of consumption (such as "oral intake" or "chewing"), the daily/each-time dosage (for example, "once daily, 2 tablets each time"), and the time of consumption (like "with meals"). This will prevent any potential impact on efficacy or risks due to improper usage.

Storage conditions

Clearly indicate temperature (such as "store in a cool, dry place, avoid direct sunlight"), humidity (such as "relative humidity ≤60%"), sealing requirements, etc., which must meet the product stability requirements (such as "refrigerated storage" for probiotic products).

VI. Safety warning information: Clarify "what to pay attention to and what cannot be substituted"

Warning language area and warning phrases

An independent warning language area should be set up, with a mandatory statement clearly and prominently marked that "health food is not a drug and cannot replace medication for treating diseases".

Shelf life and production date

The production date should be accurately marked to the year, month, and day (e.g., "Production Date: May 1, 2025"); the shelf life should be marked with either the expiration date (e.g., "Shelf Life Until: April 30, 2027") or the duration (e.g., "Shelf Life 24 Months"), and it should correspond to the storage conditions.

VII. Compliance traceability information: ensuring "traceability and traceability"

Declaration of Consistency of Record/Registration Information

It is necessary to label "The content of this product label is consistent with the registered/filed content" to ensure that the labeled information has not been modified without authorization.

Information traceability code

The entire content of the label can be displayed through a QR code, but it must be completely consistent with the information labeled on the packaging, to facilitate consumers in querying traceability information such as product approval, production, and inspection.
