Compared with the old and new editions, there are many new changes worthy of attention. According to experts from the Municipal Quality Inspection Center, the new version of the standard changes the name from "Moon Cake" to "General Rules for the Quality of Moon Cake", refines the specific categories of raw materials, deletes the word "main" in the main raw materials, standardizes the name format of edible oils and fats, and divides sugar into the main raw materials of cake crust, and clearly points out that moon cakes are cakes.

In addition, the new version of the standard changes the product classification into three categories: classification by processing technology, classification by local characteristics and other kinds of moon cakes, and deletes the hot processing category and cold processing category, and divides moon cakes into baking category, frying category, cooking category and cooked flour category, and cancels other categories under the cold processing category. According to the new standard, moon cakes are divided into 9 categories: Cantonese-style moon cakes, Beijing-style moon cakes, Soviet-style moon cakes, Chaozhou-style moon cakes, Yunnan-style moon cakes, Jin-style moon cakes, Qiong-style moon cakes, desktop moon cakes and Harbin-style moon cakes. The definition of the sub-classification of moon cakes with local characteristics has been deleted.

At the same time, the new version of the standard has added requirements for cake crust and stuffing, clearly stating that moon cake stuffing should not use wild protected animal ingredients such as shark’s fin, and should not use rare and precious ingredients such as bird’s nest. The new standard stipulates the types of cake crust and stuffing, and divides the cake crust into: syrup crust, crispy crust, mixed crispy crust, egg moon baked (cake) crust, crystal crust, ice crust, milk crispy crust, cream crust and peach mountain crust. The fillings are divided into: rongsha stuffing, nut stuffing, fruit and vegetable stuffing, egg yolk stuffing, meat and meat products stuffing, aquatic products and aquatic products stuffing, attention stuffing (soft-hearted stuffing), natural white stuffing, natural red stuffing, cloud leg stuffing and edible flower stuffing. In different fillings, the requirements for the addition amount of related raw materials are stipulated, and the naming of product names is required according to the addition amount of fillings.

In terms of inspection rules, the new version of the standard has also been revised. The ex-factory inspection items of the new standard include but are not limited to sensory requirements, moisture content, net content and stuffing content. Compared with the old standard, the mandatory inspection requirements for the total number of colonies and coliforms are deleted, and the new mandatory inspection item is moisture. The new version of the standard also deletes the seasonal production and perennial production type inspection, and changes it to the type inspection of products once a year. In addition, the new version of the standard clearly requires that if the factory inspection and type inspection are unqualified, double sampling and re-inspection can be carried out in the original batch of products.

The new version of the standard also adds the naming method of moon cake products, stipulating that the local pie moon cake should be clearly named in the local pie style and the characteristics of the cake crust or stuffing, and the product category can be built separately or reflected in the product name, such as Cantonese pure white lotus seed cake. Other moon cakes can be named with cake skin or stuffing, such as crystal skin pineapple moon cakes; Or choose to be named after the flavor characteristics of the product, such as espresso moon cakes.

The staff of the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau introduced that the "Restricting the Overpackaging of Commodities and Requiring Food and Cosmetics" explained at the training meeting was implemented last year, which put forward specific requirements for restricting the over-packaging of moon cakes. During the transition period of updating the old and new standards, according to the relevant documents, the service life of the old packaging materials for moon cakes can be extended to October 1 this year (subject to the production date).

After the transition period, the packaging of moon cakes should meet the new regulations, that is, the number of packaging layers should not exceed three; For moon cakes with a sales price above 100 yuan, the cost of all packages except those that are in direct contact with the contents shall not exceed 15% of the sales price of the products; Precious metals and mahogany materials should not be used; Not mixed with other products; The packaging void ratio meets the standard requirements.
