Chinese regulations that caused upheaval in New Zealand's infant formula industry two years ago are set to be extended to honey and wine exporters. gettyimages-453744653.jpg Honey and wine exporters face registration from next year. ``The registration requirements will apply to all countries that export wine and honey to China, including New Zealand,'' an MPI spokesman said. Chemlinked.com, a website that covers Chinese regulatory changes, reported that CNCA was training officials to conduct on-site audits of bee farms, honey processing facilities and wineries. A traceability programme for prepackaged wine might also be introduced to combat the large amount of fake imported wine sold in China, according to the report.
