Proposed revision of the "Special Act on Imported Food Safety Control". Language(s): Korean. Number of pages: 4

Attached Table 10 (Criteria for Classification of Imported Food, etc.) of the Enforcement Rule of the Special Act will be revised to eliminate 'product names' from paragraph 4 (the same product from the same company). Currently, when some of the same product from the same company are found to be non-compliant based on the results of lab test, the upcoming import of such products is rejected at the border. However, despite of this revision, the same processed food products or processed livestock products from the same company maufactured on the same date should also have the same product name as those non-compliant products for them to be determined as non-compliant.
