Product name rules (Article 5): if a product name uses an ingredient name, that ingredient's content ratio (%) must be displayed in the ingredient name column, on a formulation or as-fed basis with the basis indicated (example: Salmon (formulation basis 22%)). Ingredient labeling (Article 8): all ingredient names in descending order of usage (under 2% by weight exempt from ordering); compound ingredients list two or more representative ingredients in parentheses; products using specific meat cuts display the cut name; labeling must not suggest the product is entirely meat unless meat content is shown at the same location; fish meal/meat meal/bone meal may not be labeled as \"OO meat\" (prescribed alternative display names apply). Emphasized labeling (Article 10): \"organic\" per the Environment-Friendly Agriculture Act; \"natural\" and \"100%\" only under defined conditions; bacterial-content claims state the count per gram; prohibited are nutrient claims for absent nutrients, flavor pictures when synthetic flavoring supplies the taste (with exceptions), \"no preservatives/no coloring\" unless truly absent including carry-over, and \"ionized/living/medicinal water\". False or exaggerated labeling/advertising scope is defined in Article 14; general health-maintenance and recognized nutrient-function expressions are allowed, disease-treatment claims are not.\n","sources":["korea — KR saeroo gicho labeling"],"source":{"authority":"korea","title":"KR saeroo gicho labeling","url":"https://www.law.go.kr/lsSc.do?menuId=1&query=%EC%82%AC%EB%A3%8C%EA%B4%80%EB%A6%AC%EB%B2%95","retrieved":"","ref":"","doc_type":"official source","source_document":"Korea 사료관리법 / MAFRA","verification_file":""},"source_document":"Korea 사료관리법 / MAFRA","source_file":"","trust":{"authority_tier":"T1","fidelity":"verbatim","license":null,"display_grade":"A"},"tokens_estimated":133,"generated_at":"2026-07-16","tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
