Reminder: The amendments in Food Additive Code (2022.10.28) enter into effect on July 1, 2023.
On October 28, 2022, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) published a notification to disclose the amendments of Food Additive Code1, which will be implemented on July 1, 2023. The details are specified below:
1. Application Scope of Nicotinic Acid
Nicotinic Acid (니코틴산) is mainly used as a nutrition enhancer. However, the intake of Nicotinic Acid in excessive dosage can lead to side effects. Therefore, the competent authority reduced its application scope to four food items. After the implementation of the provisions, Nicotinic Acid can only be added to:
special nutritional foods
foods for special medical purposes
health functional food
nutrition-enriched wheat flour
Notes According to the MFDS2, for products excluded from the applicable scope for using Nicotinic Acid, enterprises can use Nicotinamide as an alternative. Nicotinamide has the same effect as Nicotinic Acid, whereas it causes no side effects. |
