11

Certification materials for the review or certification of the production company issued by relevant institutions or organizations in the country (region) where the production company of the new imported food additive variety is located

 

Genetically modified microorganisms have great application potential in the food industry. They can improve production efficiency, ensure a stable supply of food raw materials, innovate food types, and produce food raw materials that better meet consumer needs. With the announcement of the safety assessment requirements for genetically modified microorganisms by the National Food Safety Assessment Center on September 13, 2024, it is expected that in 2025, many new food raw materials produced by related genetically modified microorganisms will be accepted, such as N-acetylglucosamine, ergothioneine, etc.
