On the 19th, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) issued a document on its official account, explaining that it is strictly prohibited to over package mooncakes and guide the formation of a new trend of green consumption.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce and the State Administration of Market Supervision issued the Announcement on curbing "sky high" mooncakes and promoting the healthy development of the industry (hereinafter referred to as the "Announcement"), which proposed that the production and sales of boxed mooncakes should strictly comply with the mandatory standards on food packaging, and should not use precious metals, rosewood and other valuable materials to reduce the excessive use of packaging materials.

The article points out that the original purpose of moon cake packaging is to protect commodities and facilitate transportation. However, in recent years, some operators have taken advantage of the consumer's mentality of comparison to blindly pursue excessive luxury packaging. Some boxed moon cakes have up to six layers of packaging, some huge boxes contain only a few small pieces of moon cakes, and some use mahogany or even gold and silver as packaging materials to raise the price of moon cakes and become one of the important sources of "sky high" moon cakes. These behaviors not only increase the burden on consumers, but also cause waste of resources and environmental pollution, and also contribute to the extravagant social ethos.

The article emphasized that, according to the requirements of the Announcement and GB23350-2021 National Standard No. 1 Amendment to the Requirements for Limiting the Excessive Packaging of Commodities, Food and Cosmetics, the relevant departments will severely investigate and deal with the excessive packaging of boxed mooncakes, including whether the number of packaging layers exceeds 3, whether the proportion of packaging cost in the sales price meets the requirements, whether precious metal and rosewood materials are used for packaging, whether mooncakes are mixed with other products Whether the necessary space coefficient of commodities meets the regulations, etc. Once illegal acts are found, they will be investigated and dealt with according to law.
