Health foods are a special type of food that can claim health benefits and have a level of food-grade safety.Due to the development of China’s economy and an aging population, there has been a significant increase in the need for health foods.However, the management system is still not perfect in China, and issues such as exaggerated efficacy, false advertising, and illegal sales exist.As a pioneer in the global health food industry, Japan has different evaluation, approval, and management mechanisms compared to China.This study aimed to systematically discuss and compare the differences and advantages between China and Japan in terms of the definition, classification, approval process, efficacy evaluation, label management, and safety supervision of health foods.The findings reveal that in terms of classification, Japan has a more detailed classification system, with a wider range of functions and applications.In terms of the approval process, there are differences in the evaluation institutions, result certifications, approval departments, and approval models between the two countries, each with its own advantages.In terms of efficacy evaluation, Japan requires researchers to publish the evaluation results of efficacy and safety in high-impact journals, which helps to ensure the scientific nature of the evaluation.In terms of safety supervision, Japan has a more comprehensive safety traceability system.The above comparative results provide advantageous strategies that can be used for the reform of China’s health food management model.
