In a landmark move for the food decoration sector, three pivotal group standards co-pioneered by Wuhan Food Printing Technology Co., Ltd. (Foodprinttech) have been officially ratified and published. Developed in collaboration with industry giants like Angel Yeast, academic institutions such as Beijing Technology and Business University, and other key partners, the standards—“General Technical Requirements for Food Surface Spray Painting" (T/C1 1250-2025), “General Technical Requirements for Food Surface Spray Painting Machines" (T/C1 1249-2025), and “Food Surface Spray Materials" (T/C1 1248-2025)—received approval from the Standardization Committee of the China International Science and Technology Promotion Association and are set for implementation on November 14, 2025.
1. Pioneering a New Era of Standardization
Since its inception in 2018, Foodprinttech has been at the vanguard of food spray painting technology, driven by a deep understanding of the industry’s core challenges. As consumer demand for personalized and visually striking food grows, the application of this technology in baking, confectionery, and frozen goods has surged. However, this rapid expansion was hampered by a fragmented landscape of inconsistent technical benchmarks, a lack of unified safety protocols, and variable product quality. These issues not only stifled the industry’s potential for scalable growth but also posed significant consumer safety risks.
The formal adoption of these standards signifies a pivotal shift, moving China’s food spray painting industry away from an unregulated environment and into a new epoch of order and quality. This comprehensive framework will provide clear technical guidance for producers, equipment manufacturers, and material suppliers, fostering a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. It effectively guides the industry’s transition from a period of unchecked “wild growth" to one of “benign development," ensuring consumers can access food products that are safe, premium, and creatively inspiring.
2. Cementing Industry Leadership and Technical Authority
The introduction of these three standards not only addresses a critical void in China’s regulatory landscape but also solidifies Foodprinttech’s position as a technical authority and market leader. The company’s journey began in 2019 when it launched China’s first high-speed food spray machine, setting an industry precedent. Over the years, Foodprinttech has cultivated an integrated business model encompassing the R&D and production of both equipment and consumables, controlling the entire value chain from raw material sourcing to final product delivery. This allows them to offer clients a seamless, one-stop solution. With a portfolio of over ten quality and food safety certifications and more than 116 patents, the company’s 19 years of dedicated expertise have earned it global acclaim, with products trusted by customers in over 60 countries.
3. Safeguarding Consumers and Unlocking Market Potential
At the heart of these new standards is the focus on spray materials, which are critical for guaranteeing food safety and building consumer trust. High levels of acceptance, recognition, and satisfaction are essential for market expansion. When consumers confidently purchase, enjoy, and recommend these products, they create a virtuous cycle that unlocks new growth opportunities for the entire food industry and its upstream and downstream partners.
The ratification of the standard for food spray materials will compel companies across the sector to prioritize food safety, providing them with definitive technical guidance to collaboratively build a prosperous and responsible industry.
The release of these three group standards marks a watershed moment for the food spray decoration industry. It lays an unshakable foundation of safety and standardization while simultaneously charting a course for technological innovation and industrial upgrading.
Foodprinttech embraces its dual role as both a standard-setter and a standard-practitioner. Looking ahead, the enforcement of these standards will accelerate industry consolidation and technological iteration, steering the food spray painting field toward higher quality, enhanced safety, and greater creativity. Guided by these principles, Foodprinttech will continue to deepen its R&D investments and expand its global footprint, ensuring that the delicious creativity empowered by its technology reaches and benefits consumers worldwide.
