On October 26, 2023, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) issued a draft for public comment on Amendment No. 1 to the Technical Regulation on the Safety of Aquatic Products (TR EAEU 040/2016).

The revised contents include:

1. Develop the requirements for labeling the country of origin (or source) of raw materials on the label of sturgeon caviar products;

2. New guidelines for parasite control of aquatic products, inspection and evaluation criteria, and requirements for freezing treatment of aquatic products of Cyprinid origin for parasite elimination;

3. Supplement the processing, preservation and transportation regulations of mollusc aquatic products such as sea cucumbers.

The proposal is open for comment until January 31, 2024.
