On 28.03.2019, the SAMR (State Administration for Market Regulation) released three major adjustments to health food function claims, which are open to public comments. First, 18 health function claims are being modified because they are deemed imprecise, misleading or exaggerated. For instance, SAMR suggests to replace 减肥 (Fat reduction) with 有助于调节体脂 (Bodyfat Adjustment Support). Second, 21 existing health food function claims might be cancelled. Even though they were considered acceptable in the past, they will not gain approval when reviewed now. For example 促进头发生长 (Promotes hair growth). Third, 6 health care function claims will have to be further studied and proven, as they are easily confused with drug-like disease prevention or treatment. For example 辅助降血压 (Helps Lower Blood Pressure).
