The prohibition applies to many popular soft cheeses, including brie, Camembert, Roquefort, and others. Claims of Chinese regulators caused the bacteria contained in these cheeses. When exactly a ban, is not precisely known: some suppliers of products from Europe say that it has been operational since June, others learned about it in mid-August. Supply of hard cheeses prohibition does not apply to. Also not prohibited to sell soft cheeses produced in China.

In the past the Chinese authorities repeatedly imposed a ban on the importation of one or another of cheese. In 2014, a temporary ban was imposed on all the cheese from the UK due to a mismatch sanitary standards, and in 2008 banned the mozzarella, which is under new ban was not hit.
