This revision describes that when corrective measures are required, MFDS may notify, in writing, the exporting country of violations of foreign establishment (livestock products) so that the exporting country can investigate the cause of violation and take corrective measures. And it describes that specific methods and procedure for requesting corrective measures will be determined and published by the Minister of Food and Drug Safety.

It is also established that in case the products purchased directly from overseas by consumers contain raw materials or ingredients prescribed by the Minister of Food and Drug Safety due to the occurrence of risks or the fear to cause harm to public health, the information of such products (i.e. product name, country of origin and manufacturing facility) will be published on the official website of MFDS.
