The Chinese government recently announced its intention to implement its traceability system in the next two years to ensure the quality of its goods. The tracking system will be applied to the main products imported by third countries. Quality control will cover various sectors such as agriculture, food, medicines, and hazardous goods.
The goal of the Chinese authorities is to have a standardized and coordinated traceability system in place by 2020, allowing for quality and safety tracking equivalent to that already carried out in the European Union. Thanks to these measures, products imported from China may shed the label of low quality that usually accompanies them.
The growing Asian country is strongly committed to getting rid of the negative image of its production system. China has been promoting the use of technology in recent years to improve the traceability systems of its main products.
The Chinese traceability system will be applied to its main products, which will improve the safety and image of imported goods. Bull Importer always works with verified and solvent suppliers who strictly comply with European regulations.
Guaranteed Imported Foods from China
This way, China aligns with the recommendations of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding traceability. Both organizations emphasize the importance of such controls for food safety, thus it should be regulated in all countries.
Bull Importer, anticipating market demands, exclusively works with selected producers whose safety, traceability, and quality controls ensure that the foods comply with all guarantees according to the Food Safety Law.
In Europe, food traceability is regulated by Regulation (EC) No 178/2002, which establishes the general requirements of food legislation. According to this regulation, every actor in the supply chain must ensure food traceability. The methodology involves identifying and documenting all information about foods, feeds, animals intended for consumption, or substances used to be incorporated into any of them.
Traceability systems allow identifying suppliers in an industry, from raw material products to packaging for commercialization. Besides complying with current legislation, ensuring traceability contributes to improving the brand’s reputation.
Bull Importer has extensive experience in importing foods and additives for the food industry. We work with certified suppliers of fresh and dried agricultural products, both conventional and organic production, as well as with manufacturers of oils, syrups, and other additives common in processed foods.
We comprehensively manage the direct importation, without intermediaries, of products for the food industry. Our working method enables us to negotiate the best prices from verified and solvent suppliers.
Importing food additives is subject to specific regulations, as the European Union only admits certain chemicals. Importing without proper advice can ruin a transaction and incur significant fines. To import food additives, it is necessary to be registered in the corresponding legal registry, authorizing work with chemical products. Bull Importer can conduct a study for you to determine if the product you wish to import is permitted or, conversely, restricted by law.
