to divide food service into two rating levels of Excellent or Good with corresponding food service
sanitation assessment certifications (logos), which have an effective period of two years (Figure
2-5). From 2010 to 2014, a total of 10,732 food services were assessed and certified. The rating
system of food service management shall continue promoting to enhance domestic food service
sanitation self-management capabilities.

sanitation and food service staff health. The
Food Ingredient Hazard Analysis Manual for Food
Services
as well as
Uniform Interpretation Manual for the HACCP

food sanitation and safety amongst consumers. Industries, governments, and academia experts
were invited to conferences and publish articles related to food safety issues to ensure the
comprehensiveness of food sanitation and safety awareness programs.
