  16. Comparison of Chinese & Codex Standards China national food safety standards Codex standards Horizontal standards: GSFA, MRLs, labeling… Commodity standards: Milk, meat, beverage… Specifications on Additives N/A Code of practices & Guidelines Test & evaluate methods: AOAC list recognized by codex GMO, organic food • Horizontal standards: GB2760, 2761, 2762… • Product standards: Milk, meat, beverage… • Specifications on Additives • Food contact & packaging materials • Good hygiene practices • Test & evaluate methods: individual methods developed case by case • Regulated by specific regulations issued by MoA

  17. Conclusions National standards vs Codex standards: • Framework and most standards in line with Codex • Inadequate emphasis on Code of Practice and Guidelines • Need to learn from and collaborate with other countries Challenges in China • Coordination and collaboration between standards setting and enforcement agencies – need improvement • Risk assessment, as the basis for standard development – the ability needs strengthening • More contribution to Codex, in particular on providing national data
