Font size

China News Service, October 15. According to the website of the State Food and Drug Administration, in order to strengthen the supervision and management of toothpaste, standardize the classification and claims of toothpaste efficacy, and maintain the oral health of consumers, in accordance with the "Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics" and the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Toothpaste", the State Food and Drug Administration organized the formulation of the "Toothpaste Classification Catalog" (hereinafter referred to as the "Catalogue"), which is now announced. The relevant matters are announced as follows:

1. When registering toothpaste, the toothpaste filer shall select the corresponding coding combination to form a product classification code according to the toothpaste efficacy category and user group in accordance with the provisions of the Catalog. If the same toothpaste has the functions of multiple categories at the same time and is suitable for different user groups, multiple corresponding codes can be selected at the same time.

2. The claimed efficacy of toothpaste should be within the scope determined by the Catalog:

(1) Basic cleaning toothpaste. The efficacy claim terms of this type of toothpaste should be limited to the range of efficacy claim terms listed in the corresponding categories in the Catalog.

(2) Toothpastes that prevent caries, inhibit dental plaque, fight dentin sensitivity, and alleviate gum problems. The efficacy claim terms of the above categories of toothpaste should be essentially the same or similar in semantics and efficacy to the efficacy claim terms listed in the corresponding categories in the Catalog.

(3) Toothpastes that remove stains, whiten, tartar, and reduce bad breath. The efficacy claim terms of the above categories of toothpaste refer to the examples of efficacy claim terms listed in the corresponding category in the "Catalogue", and will be adjusted or added according to the actual situation.

The description of product color, smell, taste and other sensory experience content on the toothpaste label does not belong to the efficacy claim terms and is not subject to the scope of efficacy claim terms listed in the Catalog.

3. When the efficacy claims marked on toothpaste labels are used in conjunction with other words, they should comply with relevant requirements such as laws and regulations, mandatory national standards, technical specifications, etc., and should not be marked with content that expresses or implies medical effects.

4. The "Catalog" will come into effect on May 1, 2027. For toothpaste that has been filed before the implementation of the "Catalog", the filer should complete the change of the filing information before January 1, 2028, so that it complies with the provisions of the "Catalog"; toothpaste that has been produced and imported before the filer completes the change of the filing information can be sold in accordance with the law until the end of the product shelf life.

Drug regulatory authorities at all levels should guide and urge toothpaste filing companies and toothpaste manufacturers to implement the requirements of this announcement and standardize the classification and declaration of toothpaste efficacy; after the implementation of the "Catalog", supervision and inspection must be strengthened, and behaviors that do not comply with the provisions of the "Catalogue" and illegally claim the efficacy of toothpaste will be investigated and punished in accordance with the law.

5. The State Food and Drug Administration has established a dynamic adjustment mechanism for the "Catalog" and will make timely adjustments to the "Catalogue" based on scientific research progress, industry development and the actual toothpaste supervision work.

The recycling volume in the six cities accounts for about 70% of the country. The recycling service will continue until about one month after the revision of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Law is completed.

Health Network》Eating too much salty food may damage the kidneys and may also damage the brain! Study reveals men's memory declines faster

Nutritionist Zhang Xinfang cited research and pointed out that men with higher sodium intake declined faster in episodic memory, but the same significant association was not found in the overall study group and women. The study tracked more than 1,200 middle-aged and elderly people with normal cognitive function for 6 years. Another study published in "Neurobiology of Aging" also reached a similar conclusion. Zhang Xinfang emphasized that current human research results are inconsistent and cannot directly determine that a high-salt diet will accelerate brain aging or increase the risk of dementia. However, she reminded that salt should still be reduced in daily diet to protect the brain and maintain blood vessel health.

Flu season is approaching, how to get the flu vaccine?

As the flu season approaches, influenza vaccination across the country has begun. Experts point out that September and October are the golden periods for vaccination. It takes 2-4 weeks for antibodies to develop and the protective effect lasts for 6-8 months. This year, the H3N2 subtype of influenza A and the Victoria lineage of influenza B are prevalent across the country, and the proportion of H3N2 is increasing. The vaccine was converted from quadrivalent to trivalent because the Yamagata B strain has not been monitored globally since March 2020 and the WHO has removed it. People aged six months and above can be vaccinated. Patients with chronic diseases can be vaccinated when their condition is stable. Symptoms such as body temperature exceeding 37.3°C during colds should be postponed. You need to stay for 30 minutes after vaccination, and you can use your personal medical insurance account to pay. In some areas, it is free or reimbursed by medical insurance. If you were vaccinated or had influenza last year, you still need to get vaccinated again that year because the virus mutates frequently and antibodies weaken over time.
