PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
Wednesday, July 18, 2007

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Proxy Statement is furnished by the Board of Directors of Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation, to holders of shares of our common stock, in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors for use at our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held at 10:00 a.m. local time on Wednesday, July 18, 2007, at our executive office located at Room 516, Block A, Tai Li Ming Yuan Building, Jia 1, Waiguanxie Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, People’s Republic of China. These proxy materials are first being mailed to stockholders on or about June 18, 2007.

References herein to “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company” refer to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries unless the context specifically states or implies otherwise.

Company Background

We were originally incorporated in the state of Utah on June 14, 1933, under the name Tintic Gold Mining Company. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of March 11, 2004, Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Ltd. (Kiwa BVI”), a British Virgin Islands international business company, became Tintic Gold Mining Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Tintic/Kiwa share exchange transaction resulted in a change of control of Tintic Gold Mining Company, with former Kiwa BVI stockholders owning approximately 89% of Tintic Gold Mining Company on a fully diluted basis. Subsequent to the Tintic/Kiwa share exchange transaction, Tintic Gold Mining Company changed its name to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation. On July 22, 2004, we reincorporated in the state of Delaware.

We have established two operating subsidiaries in China — Kiwa Bio-Tech Products (Shandong) Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Shandong”) in 2002, a wholly-owned subsidiary, and Tianjin Kiwa Feed Co., Ltd. (“Kiwa Tianjin”) in July 2006, an 80% majority-owned and controlled subsidiary.

Annual Report

Our annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 is enclosed with this proxy statement.

Voting Securities

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 21, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of May 21, 2007, the number of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company was 74,415,766. Each holder of shares of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held with respect to the proposals presented in this proxy statement.

Voting of Proxies

All valid proxies received prior to the annual meeting will be voted. All shares represented by a proxy will be voted, and where a stockholder specifies by means of the proxy a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted in accordance with the specification so made.

As indicated on the enclosed proxy card, with respect to Proposal 1 relating to the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or may indicate “WITHHOLD” with respect to one or more of the nominees. With respect to Proposal 2 relating to the approval of our independent auditor, you may vote “FOR,” or “WITHHOLD”.
 
1

 
In the absence of specific instructions, proxies will be voted by the individuals named in the proxy “FOR” the election of each of the five specified director nominees in the case of Proposal 1, “FOR” the approval of our independent auditor in the case of Proposal 2, and in the discretion of the proxies named in the proxy card on all other matters that may properly come before the annual meeting.

Votes Required for Approval of Proposals

Assuming that a quorum of stockholders is present at the annual meeting, the five director nominees receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected to the Board of Directors, even without receiving a majority of the votes cast. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the shares of common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the annual meeting is required for Proposal 2 and for other matters that properly come before the annual meeting..

For the purpose of determining the vote required for approval of matters to be voted on at the annual meeting, shares held by stockholders who abstain from voting on a matter will be treated as being “present” and “entitled to vote” on the matter, and, therefore, an abstention (withholding a vote as to all matters) has the same legal effect as a vote against the matter. However, in the case of a broker non-vote or where a stockholder withholds authority from his proxy to vote the proxy as to a particular matter, such shares will not be treated as “present” or “entitled to vote” on the matter, and, therefore, a broker non-vote or the withholding of a proxy’s authority will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the matter, other than to affect the existence of a quorum. A “broker non-vote” refers to shares of our common stock represented at the annual meeting in person or by proxy by a broker or nominee where such broker or nominee (1) has not received voting instructions on a particular matter from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (2) does not have discretionary voting power on such matter.

Quorum

Our bylaws provide that a majority of all the shares of the stock entitled to vote, whether present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

Revocability of Proxies

Any person giving a proxy in response to this solicitation has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted. Proxies may be revoked by any of the following actions:

 
·
delivering a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office located at 415 West Foothill Blvd, Suite 206 Claremont, California 91711-2766;

 
·
delivering a properly executed proxy showing a later date to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office located at 415 West Foothill Blvd, Suite 206 Claremont, California 91711-2766; or
 
 
·
attending the meeting and voting in person (attendance at the meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

Solicitation of Proxies

The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. We will solicit stockholders by mail through our regular employees, and will request banks and brokers, and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries, to solicit their customers who have stock of the Company registered in the names of such persons and will reimburse them for their reasonable, out-of-pocket costs. In addition, we may use the services of our officers, directors, and others to solicit proxies, personally or by telephone, without additional compensation.

PROPOSAL 1 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Five directors are to be elected at the annual meeting, to hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal. The accompanying proxy will be voted in favor of the following persons to serve as directors unless the stockholder indicates to the contrary on the proxy. We expect that each of the nominees will be available for election, but if any of them is not a candidate at the time the election occurs, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for the election of another nominee to be designated by the Board of Directors to fill any such vacancy. Four of the director nominees are currently directors of the Company.

The following persons have been nominated to be elected as directors at the annual meeting:

The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” the nominees named in
this proxy statement. The five individuals receiving the greatest number of votes shall be
deemed elected even if they do not receive a majority vote.

Information Regarding the Board of Directors and its Committees

During 2006, the Board of Directors was composed of four members, including Messrs Wei Li, Lianjun Luo, Dachang Ju and Yunlong Zhang. All board actions require the approval of a majority of the directors in attendance at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

During 2006, our Board of Directors held 6 meetings. No member of our Board of Directors attended fewer than 75% of the meetings. We currently do not have a policy with respect to board members’ attendance at annual meetings.

We do not have a standing audit, nominating or compensation committee. As a small, development-stage company, we believe that all of our directors acting together, as opposed to a subset of them acting by means of a committee, is the most efficient and effective framework for us to perform the functions otherwise associated with audit, nominating and compensation committees.

Nominating Committee Functions

Since we do not have a nominating committee, all of the members of the Board of Directors participate in the consideration of director nominees. The Board of Directors has determined that one of its members is independent under the independence standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. We do not currently have a written nominating committee charter or similar document.

Process for Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors may employ a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. If vacancies are anticipated or arise, our Board of Directors considers various potential candidates which may come to our attention through current board members, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons. These candidates may be evaluated by our Board of Directors at any time during the year.

Our Board of Directors considers candidates recommended by stockholders when the nominations are properly submitted as described in “Consideration of Stockholder Recommendations” below. Following verification of the stockholder status of persons proposing candidates, our Board of Directors will make an initial analysis of the qualifications of any candidate recommended by stockholders or others pursuant to the criteria summarized herein to determine whether the candidate is qualified for service on the board, before deciding to undertake a complete evaluation of the candidate. If our Board of Directors determines that additional consideration is warranted, it may use a third-party search firm to gather additional information about the prospective nominee’s background and experience. Other than the verification of compliance with procedures and stockholder status, and the initial analysis performed before undertaking a complete evaluation, our Board of Directors will treat a potential candidate nominated by a stockholder like any other potential candidate.
 
4

 
In evaluating a director candidate, our Board of Directors will review his or her qualifications including capability, availability to serve, conflicts of interest, general understanding of business, understanding of the Company’s business and technology, educational and professional background, personal accomplishment and other relevant factors. Our Board of Directors has not established any specific qualification standards for director nominees, although from time to time the Board of Directors may identify certain skills or attributes as being particularly desirable to help meet specific needs that have arisen. Our Board of Directors may also interview prospective nominees in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation, the Board of Directors will determine the nominees.

Consideration of Stockholder Recommendations

Our Board of Directors considers director candidates recommended by stockholders. Candidates recommended by stockholders are evaluated on the same basis as are candidates recommended by our Board of Directors. Any stockholder wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination by the Board of Directors should provide the following information in a letter addressed to the Board in care of our Secretary: (i) the name and address of the stockholder recommending the person to be nominated; (ii) a representation that the stockholder is a holder of record of our stock, including the number of shares held and the period of holding; (iii) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the recommended nominee; (iv) information as to any plans or proposals of the type required to be disclosed in Schedule 13D and any proposals that the nominee proposes to bring to the Board of Directors if elected; (v) any other information regarding the recommended nominee that would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to Regulation 14A pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (vi) the consent of the recommended nominee to serve as a director if elected. Additional information may be requested to assist our Board of Directors in determining the eligibility of a proposed candidate to serve as a director. In addition, the notice must meet any other requirements contained our bylaws. Stockholders may nominate candidates directly by complying with our bylaws and applicable law, including the deadlines described under “Stockholder Proposals for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders”, below.

Audit Committee Functions

Since we do not have an audit committee, the entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee. The Board has determined that at least one person on the Board, Lianjun Luo, qualifies as a “financial expert” as defined by SEC rules implementing Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Mr. Luo does not meet the definition of an “independent” director set forth in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Market Place Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, which is the independence standard that we have chosen to report under. We have not been able to identify a suitable candidate for our Board of Directors that would qualify as an audit committee financial expert. We do not currently have a written audit committee charter or similar document.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that is applicable to all employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. This code embodies our commitment to conduct business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and applicable laws, rules and regulations. We will provide any stockholder a copy of the code, without charge, upon written request to our Secretary.

Stockholder Communications with Board of Directors

Any stockholder or interested party who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors or any specific directors may write to Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corporation, Board of Directors, 415 West Foothill Blvd, Suite 206 Claremont, California 91711-2766.

The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a “Stockholder-Board Communication” or “Stockholder-Director Communication.” All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the board or certain specified individual directors. We will receive and make copies of all such letters and circulate them to the appropriate director or directors.

Compensation of Directors for 2006

We currently have no policy in effect for providing compensation to our directors for their services on our Board of Directors. In 2006, we granted 153,900 options valued at $24,639 to Yunlong Zhang, who is not an employee of the Company. With the exception of the option grant above, in fiscal 2006, we did not provide any compensation to our directors for their service on our Board of Directors. Two of the directors, Mr. Wei Li and Mr. Lianjun Luo, are also executive officers of the Company and their respective compensation was provided for their service as employees of the Company. The following table set forth all the details of compensation of directors for 2006.

PROPOSAL 2 RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

Audit and Other Fees

Audit Fees

Mao & Company, CPAs, Inc. (“Mao & Co”) audited our financial statements for fiscal 2006 and 2005, and reviewed our quarterly financial statements for fiscal 2006. Grobstein, Horwath & Company, LLP (“GHC”) reviewed our quarterly financial statements for fiscal 2005.

The aggregate audit fees for fiscal 2006 were approximately $73,000. The amounts include fees for professional services rendered by Mao & Co in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for fiscal 2006 and reviews of our quarterly reports on the Form 10-QSB for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2006.

The aggregate audit fees for 2005 were approximately $67,500. The amounts include fees of approximately $45,000 for professional services rendered by Mao & Co in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements as of and for fiscal 2005 and fees of approximately $22,500 for professional services rendered by GHC in connection with reviews of our unaudited consolidated interim financial statements for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2005.

Audit-Related Fees

Audit-related fees for fiscal 2006 for assurance and related services by Mao & Co and GHC were $7,100 and $9,500. The amounts include fees for auditing the financial statements in relation to the preparation and filing of our registration statement on Form SB-2 filed in August 2006 and SB-2/A filed in October 2006.

There were no audit-related fees billed by Mao & Co or by GHC for such services rendered to the Company for fiscal 2005.
 
6

 
Tax Fees

Tax service fees billed to Mao & Co for fiscal 2006 were $4,500. There were no fees for tax services billed by Mao & Co or by GHC to the Company for fiscal 2005.

All Other Fees

There were no additional aggregate fees billed by Mao & Co for 2005 and 2006 or by GHC for 2005.

Ratification of Selection of Independent Auditor

Effective March 14, 2006, our board of directors approved the selection and appointment of Mao & Co as our certifying accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005 after GHC resigned on March 13, 2006. The annual meeting of the stockholders held on September 12, 2006 approved the appointment of Mao & Co for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. Mao & Co has issued the audit report on our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 (see enclosed the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB).

We do not expect representatives of Mao & Co to be present at the annual meeting.

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding auditor independence, the engagement of the company’s independent accountant to provide audit or non-audit services for the company must either be approved by the audit committee before the engagement or entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the audit committee. Our Board of Directors (functioning as the audit committee) has not established any pre-approval policies or procedures and therefore all audit or non-audit services performed for the company by the independent accountant must be approved in advance of the engagement by the Board of Directors. Under limited circumstances, certain de minimis non-audit services may be approved by the Board of Directors retroactively. All services provided to the company by the independent accountants in fiscal 2006 were approved in advance of the engagement by the Board of Directors and no non-audit services were approved retroactively by the Board of Directors pursuant to the exception for certain de minimis services described above.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the meeting is required for the ratification of the selection and appointment by the Board of Directors of Mao & Co as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

The value of unexercised options at a certain date equals the difference between the option exercise price and the closing price of the Company stock at such date, multiplied by the number of shares underlying the options. The closing price at June 4, 2007 was lower than the exercise price, so the value at such date was nil.
