[Background]

To more promptly guarantee consumers' right to know and their right to choose, and to ensure the early implementation of the labeling system for genetically modified foods, etc., it is necessary to adjust the enforcement date in the Addenda of the "Labeling Standards for Genetically Modified Foods, etc." (Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Notification No. 2026-49).

This amendment maintains the labeling subjects within the revised contents of the "Labeling Standards for Genetically Modified Foods, etc." (MFDS Notification No. 2026-49), but solely adjusts the enforcement date.

[Main Points]

By adjusting the enforcement date for sugars and edible oils in the Addenda of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Notification No. 2026-49, the standards will be uniformly enforced across all items on December 31, 2026.
