The Food Safety Information Institute has released a practical guideline to help K-Food exporters respond to overseas regulations by enabling them to quickly check the availability of food ingredients in major export countries. The Food Safety Information Institute (Director Lee Jae-yong) announced on the 14th that it has published the "Major Country Food Ingredients Search Guide," which is the first in the country to consolidate the access paths and search procedures of food ingredient databases (DB) of 11 major countries and organizations. The survey targets include China, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, the European Union (EU), the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Codex. This guidebook was created in response to the growing demand for information on food ingredient standards in export countries due to the recent expansion of K-Food exports, and particularly the ongoing need from industries to confirm the availability of ingredients from the export preparation stage. This guidebook provides detailed explanations of the access paths and search procedures for food ingredient databases of major export countries such as China, the United States, and Japan, and is structured in a practical format so that anyone can use it easily and quickly. The case studies that integrate national ingredient databases and search procedures are the first in the country, and it is expected that they will alleviate the burden of information search during the export preparation process and improve the efficiency of our export companies in responding to overseas regulations. However, when using the guidebook, it is necessary to pay attention to the interpretation of the food ingredient list and its actual application as the method of providing food ingredient information varies by the surveyed country. Additionally, content updates may be required depending on policy and system changes in the surveyed countries after the survey date. Director Lee Jae-yong said, "I hope this material will become a practical guideline that reduces the information search burden for K-Food export companies," and added, "We plan to continuously improve the content of this guidebook by reflecting industry needs and export trends in the future." The guidebook can be found in the in-depth information and policy system analysis menu on the Food Safety Information Institute website.
