China to Stay over 60 pct Self-sufficient in Baby Formula Pr

China is aiming to maintain a self-sufficiency ratio of baby formula above 60 percent to better meet the growing demand, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said Monday.

China will also improve the quality of baby formula to boost consumer confidence and satisfaction, according to a plan jointly issued by NDRC and six other government departments.

A quality and safety traceability platform of baby formula will be built to cover more than 60 percent of baby formula enterprises in three years, and a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point system will also be established to identify and assess potential threats in the manufacturing process, the plan said.
