Abstract	Nutraceuticals may range from isolated nutrients, herbal products, dietary supplements, novel foods, and processed food ingredients. In the global marketplace, nutraceuticals have become a multibillion dollar industry. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine, with its long historical use for health promotion and treatment of diseases, is a major resource in the development of nutraceuticals. However, as the demand increased, scandals such as poor quality of raw herbs, misidentification, and adulteration severely jeopardized the industry. Consumers preferred herbal products manufactured in countries such as Japan and Korea over those manufactured in China. Presently, China exports 65% of raw materials to support health food product manufacturing in other countries, but it is only responsible for 2% of the finished products sold internationally. To regain local and international markets, China had to institute laws to regulate the production and certification of herbal products. In this chapter, the classification of nutraceuticals, the evolution of government regulations, and recent developments in nutraceuticals and health food in China are discussed.
