The Republic of Korea is proposing to amend the 'Standards for Recognition of Temporary Standard and Specifications for Foods'. The regulations on applying for temporary standards and specifications of new food ingredients, food additives, etc. have been improved as following; 1) Revisions regarding fees for applications to approve or modify temporary standards and specifications for food products (under the Enforcement Rule of the Food Sanitation Act) will be reflected in relevant forms, such as the approval application. 2) The scope of permissible modifications will be expanded, and a new processing timeframe will be established for food ingredients, allowing for changes to the target food products, usage amounts, manufacturing methods, and manufacturers, provided such as changes do not compromise safety.
