- Revise the name and adjust the items for the agricultural products that may be used for purposes other than as food products;
- Adjust the number of pesticides that are test items for the laboratory inspections
- conducted on the newly imported agricultural products by reflecting the non-compliance records, etc.;
- Adjust the list of food products, etc., that the Minister of Food and Drug Safety recognizes as safe by reflecting the non- compliance records.
