South Korea
Jan 03, 2021
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety announced that the amendment contemplates allowing ingredients certified as functional health foods to be mixed with starch or fructose to manufacture as raw materials.
Until now, if individual certified raw materials were recognized as 'extracts', separate approval was required if other ingredients needed to be mixed or changed to a form such as 'powder'.
Other important contents include adding raw materials for calcium and magnesium, and expanding the daily intake of fats and oils containing EPA and DHA.
