2026 Q3 desk: GB 7916, No. 70, allergen cut, Illinois
Owner takeaway
China: GB 7916 + No. 70 + No. 59 are the 2026 operating system. Archive, don’t discard.
EU: 31 July 2026 placing cut for allergen labels. 2028 is not your friend if the unit is not yet placed.
US: FDA PFAS report is a data gap; Illinois is a state clock.
Japan/Korea/ASEAN: one live issue each (CSCL knock-on, Korea staging, national ASEAN doors) — do not ignore them because the homepage is CN/EU/US.
