What this means for sourcing

An ingredient approved in Korea is not automatically permitted elsewhere. Importers should verify status with their own authority. Conversely, Korean approval demonstrates that a dossier on safety and function was reviewed under a national regulatory system, which many buyers treat as a meaningful signal.
