See if there is a Chinese label on the package. The contents of the label should not only be exactly the same as those in foreign languages, but also include the following contents: food name, ingredients, net content and solid content, country or region of origin, date of production, shelf life, storage guide, name and address of manufacturing, packaging, sub-packaging or distribution unit, and name and address of general distributor in China.

second, see if there is a "CIQ" logo for laser anti-counterfeiting. "CIQ" is the abbreviation of "China Inspection and Quarantine". Since 2, the anti-counterfeiting mark has been uniformly affixed to imported foods that have passed the inspection and quarantine. If there is no "CIQ" mark issued by China Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, consumers have the right to ask the dealer for the "imported food hygiene certificate".

third, look at the product barcode. The code is unique, which requires a commodity item, a manufacturer or a country (region) to have only one code. When the commodity item, manufacturer and country (region) have been determined, it will never change. Moreover, a set of numbers in commodity bar code must be combined with countries (regions), manufacturers and commodities, and this commodity item code can ensure that the code identification of commodities is specific and unique in a country (region) and even in the world. For example, the prefix code "471" is produced in Taiwan Province, China, "84" is produced in Spain, "-19, 3-39, 6-139" is produced in the United States, "69-695" is produced in Chinese mainland, "94" is produced in New Zealand, and "45-49" When purchasing imported food, consumers should refuse to buy food without bar code.

fourth, see if the dealer has a hygiene certificate for imported food. The certificate was issued by the inspection and quarantine department after the imported food passed the inspection and quarantine. The certificate should indicate the detailed information of the imported food, including the production batch number. Only when the goods certificate is consistent can it be proved that the food is truly legally imported.

However, for most consumers who are keen on imported food, they still think that the real "original import" is the one with all foreign language packaging, but is this really the case? In this regard, Ocean Lu reminded consumers that according to the current laws and regulations, only imported food with "Chinese label" can enter the country for sale. Therefore, imported food without Chinese labels belongs to food imported through informal channels, which has considerable risks.

Food labels are like a window of food. Consumers need to know the real attributes of food at a glance through Chinese labels. However, in the current market environment, there are illegal behaviors such as the lack of Chinese labels on imported foods, incomplete information on Chinese labels, and retailers labeling Chinese labels at will, which seriously interfere with consumers' choice of correct and suitable products. Ocean Lu reminded consumers that the state requires imported food to provide Chinese labels in order to ensure that consumers can understand information such as ingredient list and shelf life date, so that consumers can choose to buy according to their own physique. For example, consumers who can't eat foods with high sugar content, or consumers who are lactose intolerant, may buy foods that are not suitable for their own consumption.
