    Korea Implements M-COOL

    General News
    S. Korea to implement COOL for imported rice, beef

    By Tom Johnston on 7/2/2007 for Meatingplace.com




    South Korean officials said Wednesday the country will enforce strict country-of-origin disclosure rules for imported rice and beef sold in local restaurants, Yonhap reported.

    To take effect next year, the new rules would require all restaurants above certain floor space amounts to inform customers of the origin of rice and beef, the Ministry of Health and Welfare said.

    Violations could result in restaurant closures and prison terms of less than three years. For minor offenses, authorities could levy fines of up to $5,390, according to Yonhap.

    The rules do not apply to processed food or noodles, rice cakes and beverages that use rice as the main ingredient.
