A. In May 2016, oat products from the US were found containing glyphosate, a

type of pesticide. To be aware of glyphosate contents in oat products at boarder
inspections and that have been distributed on the market, TFDA developed
specific testing methods in a very short period to analyze 36 oat products
imported from 8 countries (including the US and Australia). Ten products were
found containing glyphosate with the level of 0.2-1.8 ppm, which had violated
the regulations that prohibit the use of glyphosate in oat products in Taiwan.
TFDA provided such test results to border inspection units for further handling

and sanctions. TFDA also released the testing methods immediately to the public
and all testing bodies for reference to expand national test capacities and thus
achieve safeguard effective for public health.
