REGISTRATION RENEWAL SUCCESS
FOR SYNLAIT DUNSANDEL
Synlait (NXZ: SML; ASX: SM1) is pleased to announce it has obtained registration renewal of its
Dunsandel plant with the General Administration of Customs of the Peoples’ Republic of China
(GACC).
The registration allows Synlait to continue to export canned infant formula to China and is issued by
GACC who took over this responsibility from the Certification and Accreditation Administration of the
Peoples’ Republic of China (CNCA) after a government restructure in March last year.
Re-registration is required every four years and included an in-depth assessment where Synlait was
asked to prove it has robust systems for change management, pathogen management and food
incident management.
The three-day onsite audit conducted by the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) on behalf of GACC
also included a full traceability exercise from raw materials through to export, as well as an assessment
of Synlait’s capability to meet China’s rigorous regularly requirements.
“GACC has strict criteria overseas manufacturers must meet to maintain registration, and I’m pleased
to say Synlait Dunsandel continues to meet these high standards,” says Synlait CEO Leon Clement.
Synlait first obtained certification for canned infant formula for its Dunsandel site in September 2014.
