Objective Statistical analysis of the domestic health food that has been filed from July 2017 to April 2022 was carried out to provide reference about the research and filing of health food for manufacturers ， and to provide data support for regulatory authorities to formulate relevant regulations.Methods A total of 9 835 health food records were collected from the special food information inquiry platform of the State Administration for Market Regulation and administration for market regulation of all provinces， autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The number of records， filing regions， dosage forms， product types， health functions and raw material compatibility were analyzed.Results The number of health food records in China had been increasing overall since 2017， but the regional distribution of health food records was uneven. Among them， tablets accounted for more than 50% and capsule products for about 30% in shape； of 8 950 nutrient supplements， the largest number of products supplemented with single nutrient supplements was 43.7%. A total of 885 functional health food products had been recorded. The number of products with spirulina as raw material was less， while the number of other four raw materials were all over 150.Conclusion Since the beginning of domestic health food recording， the number of recorded products has reached up to nearly 10 000. We recommend that he relevant regulatory departments should continuously improve the existing regulations to ensure the steady and rapid development of health food filing in China. Manufacturers shall， in accordance with people’s health needs and relevant regulations， carry out formulation research and product filing， which will not only bring economic benefits to manufacturers themselves， but also help promote the construction of “Healthy China”.
