Eco-labels not a subject in China...yet

While several companies were proudly showcasing eco-labels such as the Marine StewardshipCouncil (MSC) at their booths, they are certainly not a driving force in theChinese domestic market.

Retail packages in Europe and the UnitedStates are crawling with eco-labels, but in China they are still at “veryinitial” stages, Thomas Sun, general manager of Yantai, China-based processorTed Foods, told IntraFish.

This is despite increasing focus on foodsafety, and the “desire to build up standards,” he said.
