On November 20, 2013, China’s General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) announced its revised Administrative Measures for Organic Product Certification. These revised measures will be implemented starting April 1, 2014, and are applicable to China’s domestic certification, production, processing, importing and sales of organic products. Noticeable changes include, but are not limited to, that the content of organic ingredients must be equal to or above 95 percent and that the term “organic” must be listed on the product package and label.
