Proposed Revision of the "Standard for Determining Unfair Labelling and Advertising of Foods"; (14 page(s), in Korean)

MFDS is proposing to amend the Standard for False Labeling or Advertising in Food, etc. as follows:

1) Extend the list of herbal medicines and its similar names that could be misinterpreted as medicinal products

2) Add new provision that prohibits the labeling and advertising of names or content of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or Cannabidiol (CBD) in food, etc.

3) Among food labeling and advertising that emphasize its compliance to the standards and specification of residues and contaminants and leading consumers to think other products are relatively not compliant, exempt labeling and advertising that disclose the full Certificate of Laboratory Testing of the product from the scope of false labeling and advertising
