[Background] 

This amendment aims to establish a foundation for food safety management by mandating heat sterilization/pasteurization when using unpasteurized liquid eggs and strengthening residual limits for pesticides. Additionally, it establishes new standards and specifications for "Nutritional Management Foods for Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)" to encourage the development and distribution of diverse products.

[Main Points]

New Manufacturing/Processing Standards for Unpasteurized Liquid Eggs: Requires heat sterilization/pasteurization when using unpasteurized liquid eggs as raw materials (e.g., in bread manufacturing) to prevent food poisoning from cross-contamination.

New Standards for Nutritional Management Foods: Introduces food categories and standards for IBD patients and revises nutrient standards for protein hydrolysate-based formulas for patients with intestinal disorders.

Pesticide Residue Limits: Revises the maximum residue limits (MRLs) for three types of pesticides, including Buprofezin, Flubendiamide, and Fluopyram.
