In China, it is prohibited to add medicine to food produced or traded, unless the added substance is traditionally considered as both food and Chinese medicine. Enterprises exporting to China should make a concerted effort to comprehend the quality standards for food and medicine, ensuring that the exported products meet the specific requirements set by China.

Until 2023 (as of December 28, 2023), it has released three batches of Catalog of Traditionally Considered Both Foods and Medicinal Materials, with 102 substances in total. Foodmate will show you the list and regulatory sources of traditional foods and Chinese medicinal material.
