The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of the Republic of Korea has amended the "Regulation on Labels of Quasi-drugs" as stated below:

Among quasi-drug products for use inside the mouth, products that contain fluorine are newly required to label the content of fluorine in the product.

Energy drinks that contain caffeine are now required to place the caffeine content on its label.

If sanitary pads use fragrances containing the raw materials that the Minister of Food and Drug Safety determines and publicly notifies as allergens, they should present the name of such raw materials on the label.
