Core Viewpoint - The launch of two key group standards related to "food and medicine from the same source" aims to enhance national health and promote high-quality development in the food and medicine industry by establishing comprehensive standards for functional food materials and their production bases [1][4][17]. Group 1: Standards and Regulations - The two group standards, titled "Functional Food Materials and Foods from Food and Medicine" and "Standards for the Recognition of Functional Food Material Bases," have been officially approved and are now in the research and drafting phase [4][17]. - The standards are designed to create a comprehensive, traceable quality assurance system covering the entire supply chain from production bases to consumer tables, ensuring food safety and health [18]. Group 2: Industry Impact - The establishment of these standards is expected to promote orderly industry development by reducing market chaos caused by the lack of standards, guiding enterprises towards standardized and refined production [17]. - Standardization will enhance the quality stability and brand credibility of food materials, helping local specialty industries (e.g., goji berries, poria, yam, and Sichuan pepper) to gain competitive advantages and drive industry chain upgrades [17]. - The new standards will complement existing national and industry standards, providing practical foundations for future national standard formulation, thus creating a "national standard + group standard" complementary system [17]. Group 3: Collaborative Efforts - The drafting committee for these group standards will invite participation from local governments, research institutions, universities, enterprises, and production bases, emphasizing the collaborative nature of this initiative [18].
