According to Article 122 of the Food Safety Law:

Anyone who engages in food production and marketing activities without a food production and marketing license, or engages in food additive production activities without a food additive production license, the food and drug supervision and administration department of the people's government at or above the county level shall confiscate the illegal income, food additives and tools, equipment, raw materials and other articles used for illegal production and marketing.

if the value of food and food additives illegally produced and operated is less than 11,111 yuan, a fine of not less than 51,111 yuan but not more than 111,111 yuan shall be imposed; If the value of the goods is more than 11,111 yuan, a fine of more than 11 times and less than 21 times of the value of the goods shall be imposed. This shows that the punishment is very serious.

before developing a new product, a food production enterprise must confirm whether the product is within the scope of the existing production license. If it is beyond the scope of the existing license, it needs to complete the declaration of production license additions as soon as possible.

for specific product classification, please refer to the announcement of china food and drug administration on publishing the classified catalogue of food production license (No.23, 2116).
