Up to date, nutrition fortification standards have not
been set up in Korea. To be able to assess the possible
risks of the excessive intake of micro nutrient and its
alike compounds among Koreans, the agency has been
analysing food intake survey data with other research
institutes and is about to announce the general guidelines
for nutrition fortification. The KFDA also does the
ground research for developing the guidelines, for example
the establishment of the upper levels of vitamins and
minerals added in health functional foods, and the monitoring
of the current market.
