In China, the labeling requirements for bulk Baijiu (distilled spirits) are regulated by food safety laws and related national standards. According to the Food Safety Law and GB 7718-2011 (General Standard for the Labeling of Prepackaged Foods), even bulk products must provide key information. Here’s what should be included on the label in English:
Mandatory Information:
1. Product Name
2. Alcohol Content (ABV)
3. Ingredients List
4. Producer Information
5. Production Date
6. Storage Conditions
7. Food Production License Number
8. Warning Statement
Additional Recommendations (if applicable):
If applicable (e.g., Moutai, Luzhou Laojiao), include the GI certification.
For categorized Baijiu (e.g., Premium, First Grade).
If sold in reusable containers, indicate volume (e.g., Net Weight: 5L).
If ingredients include common allergens (e.g., wheat).
Key Regulations:
Always check with local authorities for updates, as regulations may vary by region or export requirements. For international sales, ensure compliance with the target country’s alcohol labeling standards.
