The food "QS" sign will be cancelled. The legal basis before the food packaging marked "QS" logo is the "Regulations" industrial products production license management, with the implementation of food supervision and management mechanism and adjustment of the new "food safety law", "Regulations" industrial products production license management is no longer as a food production license basis. Therefore, the elimination of food "QS" sign is strictly enforcing the requirements of laws and regulations, because the new food safety law clearly stipulates that the number of food production license should be marked on food packaging, and no sign of food production license is required. Two is the new food production license number is the letter "SC" plus 14 Arabia figures, can fully meet the requirements of identification and inquiry. Three is to cancel the "QS" sign is beneficial to enhance food producers' awareness of the responsibility of food safety.
The newly certified food producers should mark the new food production license number on the food packaging or label, and no longer mark the "QS" sign. In order to as soon as possible the full implementation of the new production license system, and try to avoid the producers of packaging materials and food label waste, we gave producers a maximum of three years of the transition period, namely October 1, 2018 and after production of food will not be allowed to continue to use the original packaging and labeling and marking "QS". We encourage and support food producers to eliminate old packaging as soon as possible with new packaging.
Consumers should pay attention to when buying food: after October 1st, with the "QS" signs of food from the market will not immediately disappear, but with the passage of time will gradually withdraw from the market, with the market during this period on QS "symbol of the old package of food and a food production license number of the new food will still exist at the same time. Good advice.
