Q: How to determine true nature name of health food?

A: The true nature name of product should correctly indicate the dosage form or form of the product. Where the names of the dosage forms of health food listed in the Catalogue of Food Production License Classification are specified, the true nature name of product should comply with their provisions. If there are no provisions but applicable national standards, the true nature name of product should conform to the food classification of the relevant national standards; if there is no applicable national standard, the true nature name stipulated in the General Rules of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia should be complied with. If there is no relevant national standard, nor does it belong to the General Rules of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the true nature name of product should conform to the product form and consumption method, as well as the true nature name of similar product, and there is sufficient evidence to support it. For health food such as donkey-hide gelatin, the true nature name of product should conform to the food form such as "block".
