On May 11, 2026, China notified the World Trade Organization (WTO) under G/SPS/N/CHN/1363 of a revised draft National Food Safety Standard on Nut and Seed Foods. The proposed date of entry into force has not been determined. WTO member states may submit comments to China’s SPS National Notification and Enquiry Center at sps@customs.gov.cn until July 10, 2026. The draft standard covers requirements for nut and seed foods.
The notification was made by China's Office of Agricultural Affairs, Beijing, and the report provides an unofficial translation of the draft standard. The standard falls under the topics of exporting and regulations and requirements, and is relevant to the tree nuts commodity group.
