With the vigorous development of the nutrition and health industry in China and further standardize the licensing examination work, more and more new food raw material has been widely used after approval. The use of some approved raw materials is restricted. If enterprises want to expand the use scope, they also need to do the application in order to achieve the purpose of expanding the market.

In order to help enterprises obtain relevant information quickly, CIRS Group summarized a list of new food raw materials that have been "expanded in use" since 2008.

The research results of each new food raw material are gradually accumulated with the progress and development of science. The safety, dosage, or application scope of a food raw material may undergo updating or change. For new raw materials that do not meet the requirements of the original notice or need to be expanded in use scope, a new application shall be submitted. It can be used only after it is approved by NHC. The final approval results may be published by a new notice, or included in the termination list.
