SUMMARY:2026 Global Food Regulations Annual Forum
DESCRIPTION:The global food industry is currently undergoing profound transformation. On the one hand\, with the rapid advancement of technologies such as synthetic biology and novel food sources\, countries are raising the bar for safety assessments and market access requirements for new food ingredients\, shifting the regulatory approach from ‘post-market oversight’ to ‘pre-market prevention’. On the other hand\, major export markets such as Europe and the US are imposing increasingly stringent compliance checks on imported foods\, with procedures such as FDA on-site inspections and EU Novel Food authorisation becoming more complex. At the same time\, Asian markets such as Japan and South Korea are continuously updating their provisional authorisation and additive notification systems. \nCaught between these twin pressures of “tightening domestic regulations and high overseas barriers”\, companies seeking to break through in international trade require not only robust product quality but also a forward-looking and precise grasp of global regulations. \nTo this end\, CIRS Group will host the “2026 Global Food Regulations Annual Forum” in Shanghai\, Seoul and Tokyo in June 2026. This conference will bring together leading experts from China\, the US\, Europe\, Japan and South Korea to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest global regulatory developments. We will provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges involved in declaring new food ingredients in China\, break down the practical key points for preparing for FDA inspections and registration in Europe and the US\, and outline the latest market access pathways for Japan and South Korea. Through this conference\, we will assist enterprises in building a “global compliance strategy”\, enabling you not only to understand regulations but also to utilise them to safeguard your R&D innovation and international trade expansion. \nConference Information\nShanghai Forum\nDate: 17 June 2026 \nRegistration Fee: Free \nVenue: Shanghai\, China (exact venue to be confirmed) \nLanguage: Chinese and subtitles for other languages \nSeoul Forum\nDate: 23 June 2026 \nRegistration Fee: Free \nVenue: Seoul\, South Korea (exact venue to be confirmed) \nLanguage: Korean and subtitles for other languages \nTokyo Forum\nDate: 25 June 2026 \nRegistration Fee: 7\,000 yen per person \nVenue: Tokyo\, Japan (exact venue to be confirmed) \nLanguage: Japanese and subtitles for other languages \nConference Agenda\nShanghai Forum \n\n\n\n\nTime\nTopic\nSpeakers\n\n\n8:30–8:55\nRegistration\n\n\n\n8:55–9:00\nOpening Remarks\nMr. Lin Longhai\, Deputy General Manager of CIRS Group\n\n\n9:00–10:00\nSafety Assessment Requirements for New Food Ingredients and Food Additives in China\nMr. Zhong Weijian\, Deputy Director \nFormer Shanghai Centre for Disease Control and Prevention\n\n\n10:00–10:30\nOptimisation and Support Policies for the Filing/Registration of Imported Health Foods\nExpert from the Yiwu Bureau (to be confirmed)\n\n\n10:30–11:00\nCoffee Break\n\n\n\n11:00–11:30\nIntroduction to Novel Food and Feed Additive Authorisation Applications in Europe\nMs. Wing Yu \nTechnical Manager\, Food Division\, CIRS Group\, DCST\n\n\n11:30–12:00\nTechnical Highlights and Case Studies on Preparing for On-site Inspections by the FDA and Other Overseas Regulatory Authorities for Export Food Enterprises\nMs. Ma Yan \nSenior Engineer\, Comprehensive Technology Centre\, Rongcheng Customs\n\n\n12:00–13:30\nLunch\n\n\n\n13:30–14:30\nIntroduction to China Regulations on the Declaration of Feed Raw Materials and Feed Additives\nFeed Evaluation Expert (to be confirmed)\n\n\n14:30–15:00\nGuidance on Regulatory Compliance via Various Pathways (e.g.\, FDA GRAS\, NDI\, CAP) in the U.S.\nDr Timothy S.
