and registration management, to align with international standards and enhance
competitiveness. Promote the establishment and amendment on related laws such as “Act
Governing Food Safety and Sanitation”, “Act Governing Health Food Management”,
“Pharmaceutical Affairs Act”, “Act Governing Medical Devices Management”, and

populations or where the special effects of the food item must be verified.
