On November 29, the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) issued No. 2022-510 notice to revise part of the Labeling Standard for Health Functional Food. The main contents are as follows:

1. Health functional food should be labeled with the image of health functional food and the expression"health functional food" at the same time. However, due to the small labeling area on the packaging materials, enterprises may choose to indicate either the images of healthy functional food or the words "health functional food".

2. The scope of labeling items that can be modified by pasting self-adhesive stickers on the label of health functional food is expanded, so that enterprises can continue to use the existing packaging materials after the modification of other regulations and standards, and the burden of the industry can be eased.
