02 Jun 2020 --- China has approved the import of whey permeate for use in F&B products. Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) has welcomed this news, which comes as a result of a recent trade agreement between the US and China. However, the standard allows permeate from any country to be exported to China provided it complies with the material and sensory requirements. In mid-May, China released an official safety and quality standard for using permeate powders in food processing, which AFI says signifies that the country is ready to accept imports of the ingredient with immediate effect.
