Shape up, chaotic health food sector told

The chaotic health food market would be closely supervised and managed under a draft regulation released by the State Council.

"The regulation has been formulated to ensure citizens' health and life safety, and to strictly monitor the health food industry," said the draft regulation issued by the State Council Legislative Affairs Office late on Sunday.

Under the draft, market access would be tightened for health food products, which could include bee glue, spirulina or any foods with vitamin and mineral substance.
