On December 7, 2022, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced that after several negotiations with the European Union, the two parties finally reached an agreement, and the European Union agreed to delete the "Korea-made dietary supplements" product from the product catalog under enhanced control. From the first half of 2023, South Korean companies are not required to submit ethylene oxide test reports and official certificates when exporting dietary supplements to Europe, but EU officials will conduct random inspections on 30% of each batch of imported goods. The amendment to European Union (EU) 2019/1793 will be implemented 20 days after its release, and the date of release has not yet been determined.

In August 2021, the European Union notified South Korea that ethylene oxide was detected in instant noodles. After notifying the incident of ethylene oxide detected in Korean instant noodles, the European Union issued the (EU) 2019/1793 Amendment Order (temporarily strengthening the official control and emergency measures for certain goods from third countries entering the EU). Starting today, the two types of Korean instant noodles and dietary supplements will be treated as special controlled foods for enhanced management: strengthen the control of ethylene oxide in products. Regulation (EU) 2021/2246 stipulates that when exporting instant noodles and dietary supplements to the EU, Korean export companies must submit a test report and official certificate issued by a recognized testing agency to prove that the product meets the maximum residue limit of ethylene oxide in the EU standard.
