Labeling regulation in Hong Kong?
Does anyone know about labeling law/regulations for retailing in Hong Kong? Say if I want to sell my products there, what language am I supposed to use when labeling them? Does it has to be in both Chinese and English? Can English only work?
Thanks

I have seen products in the local Asian grocery store with Asian writing, then an English sticker placed on it as well. This may be an option. I have a visitor coming from China next week, I will have to ask if they know.
I did some digging, here is what I found.
Imported packaged foods must have a Chinese label when imported to China.
Those labels that do not meet Chinese labeling laws and regulations will be
refused entry.
English-language versions of the new regulations and other rules about food
additives such as food laws, labeling requirements, food additives regulations,
organic “green” food standards, copyright/trademarks, and pesticides and
other contaminants can be obtained from the China Food & Agricultural
Import Regulations & Standards Report (or China FAIRS Report). The
translations available are listed in the FAIRS Working Index, which is posted
on the FAS website (www.fas.usda.gov)
@Seaminglysew Thank you so much for your answer! Is the regulation in Hong Kong the same as the ones in Mainland China?
