[Press Release] Republic of Korea to Move Towards Carbon Neutrality with Use-By Date Labeling System

□ The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of the Republic of Korea (Minister Oh Yu-Kyoung) replaces the sell-by date marking system with the use-by date labeling system.* The sell-by date marking system that centered on food business operators has been used for 37 years since 1985. The consumer-oriented use-by date labeling system is implemented from January 1, 2023.** This is part of the Ministry’s efforts to contribute to the global endeavor to reduce food waste and realize carbon neutrality.
