The regulation establishes the standards for labeling genetically modified (GM) foods, food additives, and health functional foods in South Korea. It defines the scope of products subject to GM labeling, including agricultural, livestock, and fishery products, as well as processed foods where GM DNA or protein remains. It outlines the exemptions for labeling (such as unintended contamination below 3% or highly refined products), specifies the obligations of manufacturers and sellers, and details the specific labeling methods, including font size, placement, and wording requirements. It also sets criteria for voluntary "Non-GMO" labeling.
