South Korea: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
The U.S. has maintained its status as the top supplier of feed grains to Korea since 2014. While several proposals to expand biotech labeling are still pending in the National Assembly, MFDS announced its plan in early 2015 to expand mandatory biotech labeling to include all products with detectable biotech ingredients. MFDS will revise the current labeling standards in 2015. MFDS has not released details of the revision. The National Institute of Ecology has replaced the National Institute of Environmental Research as the agency responsible for assessing risk to the natural ecosystem.
