China's new Food Safety Law goes into effect June 1, but there is alrady anecdotal evidence that the flavor industry is being impacted. A recent note from the Flavor and Extract Manufacturer's Association (FEMA) reports that some companies have received customer requests for information on flavors, including component percentages, FEMA numbers, molecular formulas of components, MSDS and more.
FEMA notes that the organization has yet to see the actual regulations, leaving it unclear whether these requests are based on the new regulations.
