In recent years, with the continuous improvement of people's health awareness, the health food market has become increasingly prosperous. However, due to the particularity of health food, the filing of its raw materials has been attracting much attention. Recently, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement to include ginseng, American ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the catalogue of raw materials for the record of health food, which is undoubtedly a major positive news for the health food industry.
The names and varieties of ginseng, American ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, which are included in the catalogue of raw materials for the record of health food, are consistent with the contents of the same varieties in the current Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
According to the provisions of the three catalogs, the raw materials included in the catalogue of raw materials for the record of health food can only be used unilaterally when the product is recorded, and cannot be used in combination with other raw materials; For raw materials with multiple varieties, the varieties used should be clearly used when the product is recorded.
The inclusion of ginseng, American ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the catalogue of raw materials for the filing of health foods will help regulate the health food market. In the past, due to the lack of unified filing standards and management norms, there was a lot of chaos in the health food market. In order to maximize profits, some companies often use low-quality raw materials or exaggerate their claims, which poses a potential threat to consumers' health. The inclusion in the catalogue of raw materials for the record will make the raw materials of health food more transparent and reliable, and further protect the rights and interests of consumers.
This inclusion in the catalogue of registered raw materials will also help to promote innovation in health foods. With the continuous advancement of science and technology and the diversification of consumer needs, the competition in the health food market is becoming increasingly fierce. If a company wants to stand out in the market, it must constantly innovate and improve the quality and differentiation of its products. The addition of Chinese herbs such as ginseng, American ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum will provide more choices and inspiration for enterprises and promote the innovation and development of health food.
Ginseng, American ginseng, and Ganoderma lucidum are Chinese medicinal materials that have been included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and American ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum have recently been included in the list of substances that are traditionally both food and Chinese medicinal materials. The above raw materials should be strictly distinguished from different uses, as health food raw materials, consumers must remember that "health food is not a drug, can not replace the drug ** disease".
