In the 11th holiday, in addition to various travel shopping, consumers should pay attention to the supermarket to buy food, we must pay attention to "SC" plus 14 Arabic numerals, which is a new food production license under the "Food Production License Management Measures" The certificate number, while the original food "QS" logo was cancelled.

  The new "Food Safety Law" was implemented as early as October 1, 2015. As the supporting regulations of the new "Food Safety Law", the "Food Production License Management Measures" formulated by the State Food and Drug Administration has also been implemented simultaneously. What should consumers pay attention to after the implementation of the Measures?

  After the implementation of the Measures, the food “QS” mark has been phased out within three years. The legal basis for the “QS” mark on food packaging was “Regulations on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products”. With the adjustment of food supervision and management institutions and the implementation of the new Food Safety Law, the Regulations on the Administration of Production Licenses for Industrial Products It is no longer the basis for food production licenses.

  Therefore, the elimination of food "QS" is strictly enforced by laws and regulations, because the new "Food Safety Law" clearly stipulates that the food production license number should be marked on the food packaging, and the food production license mark is not required to be marked. Second, the new food production license number can fully meet the purpose of identification and inquiry. The new food production license number is composed of the letters "SC" plus 14 Arabic numerals. Third, the abolition of the “QS” mark is conducive to enhancing the food producer's awareness of food safety.

  After the implementation of the Measures, the newly certified food producers shall mark the new food production license number on the food packaging or label, and no longer mark the “QS” mark. In order to fully implement the new production licensing system as soon as possible, and to avoid the waste of producer packaging materials and food labels, the Measures provide producers with a maximum period of no more than three years, that is, October 1, 2018 and beyond. The food produced must not continue to use the original packaging and labeling and the "QS" logo.

  Once the food production license number is confirmed, it will not change. When the license is extended or changed in the future, the license number will not change.
