Since December, the Korean government has implemented HACCP compulsory certification for 8 favorite foods for children (biscuits, confectionery, bread, chocolate, sausages, beverages, instant food, noodles, special-purpose foods, etc.) and fully implements GMP voluntary safety management. the government will inspect antibiotics and pesticide residues in dairy products from July. In December, the dairy exporting countries will be required to provide antibiotics and other residue testing reports.

For overseas manufacturers that import food, they will expand the implementation of "document review" instead of on-site investigations.
