China said Monday it will impose temporary anti-dumping measures on food additives imported from Thailand and Indonesia, Xinhua reported.
The Ministry of Commerce requires importers of disodium 5'-inosinate, disodium 5'-guanylate and disodium 5'-ribonucleotide to place deposits starting Tuesday.
It said companies from the two countries had dumped the additives on the Chinese market, causing substantial damage to the domestic industry.
The ministry launched an anti-dumping investigation into imported additives from Indonesia and Thailand last March.
The additives are mainly used in monosodium glutamate, soy sauce and other condiments to enhance flavor.
