Violations in food exports from China to South Korea
According to statistics released by the Korean Food and Drug Administration, there were 294 cases of violations of agricultural and food products exported from China to South Korea in 2022.
It is worth noting that the number of violation cases reported due to excessive pesticide residues in 2022 has more than doubled compared with 2021!
Regulatory Requirements:
Previously, the Korean Ministry of Food and Drugs (MFDS) updated the pesticide residue limit requirements for agricultural products exported to South Korea. There are 510 pesticide residue limit requirements for agricultural products such as fruits, vegetables, grains, etc., of which more than 75% have a limit value of 0.01mg/kg, and a qualified pesticide residue test report must be provided. It has increased the cost and difficulty for food companies to export to South Korea.
Our Services:
In order to meet the needs of enterprises exporting to South Korea, Mérieux Nutritional Sciences (China) Laboratory has developed a pesticide residue service plan for the Korean market. The MFDS pesticide residue testing list exported to South Korea has 511 items, which can cover all items officially tested by MFDS, greatly reducing the risk of exporting to South Korea.
