On October 7, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of the Republic of Korea issued Notice No. 2022-440, which intends to amend part of the Enforcement Order of the Law on Labeling and Advertising of Food, etc. The main contents are as follows:

The emphasis on the ingredients that are not directly related to or not used in the product may indirectly cause consumers have different perceptions of the product from the products of other enterprises, thus the advertising content might be defined as inappropriate labeling or advertising. Even if it is an approved additive that can be used in the product, the labeling and advertising content that does not show the food additive on the product are not inappropriate labeling and advertising.

The above comments will be solicited until November 18, 2022.
