Section 2 New System of Food Labeling

Origin of Policy

The food label is one of the important references when buying food. The producer shall
label the nature of the food on its package. The label not only serves as a communication channel

between the producers and the consumers, but also represents the producers’ responsibilities
to their own products. To enhance the regulations of labeling, Ministry of Health and Welfare
(MOHW) has revised the Food Safety Act and related regulations, to enable the food producers
perform their obligations of revealing correct information.

Implementation Measures

To make the food information transparent, according to Article 22, 24, and 26 of the Food
Safety Act, many regulations of labeling foods have been enacted in 2017, as demonstrated in
Table 2-1. On November 15, 2017, the “Guidelines for Front of Package Nutrition Labeling

(FoP)” was issued to encourage producers compile a “visualized” nutrition labeling, which help
people understand nutritional composition (Figure 2-4).
