On April 7, the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) issued notice No. 2023-162, which intends to revise part of the "Implementation Rules of the Special Act on imported Food Safety Control". The main contents are as follows:

The name of a product with little relevance to food safety will be removed from the condition of "the same imported food from the same company"; Clear the scope of disqualification in the process of customs clearance; If no circulation tracking management data is provided, the relevant product registration shall be cancelled and the scope of administrative punishment shall be clarified.
