2. HACCP for food service in hotels and meal boxes offered by

Railway Corporation

The tourism in Taiwan is well developed. The hotels not only provide accommodation,
but also provides catering and meal services. Transport via railway also offers the meal boxes to
serve their passengers as well. In order to call attention to the safety of food served in hotels and
offered by transport via railway and to enhance control over the sanitation and safety of the food
manufacturing process, the concept of preventive food safety management is introduced. One after

another, the regulations that the restaurant within the Five-Star hotels and the transport via railway
offering meal boxes shall implement food safety control system (HACCP) were promulgated.
Thus, a total of 74 HACCP-implemented businesses were guided to enhance self-management
over the sanitation and safety of food, and would eventually ensure dietary sanitation and safety
for the consumers.

3. Empowering professionals devoted to improve the food industry

Daily necessities and high-risk foods of high interest have been included as part of the
categories in the food industry for which food professionals should be available. It is mandatory
to hire professionals in the following 15 food manufacturing, processing, or reconstitution
categories: meal box, dairy products processing, aquatic products processing, meat processing,
canned food, cooking oils and fats, egg products, noodles and vermicelli, soy sauce, vinegar,
seasonings, non-alcoholic beverages as well as international tourist hotel or five-star hotel with
catering, and businesses supplying meal boxes for railway passengers.
Though investing more professionals on food to join the industry, and reducing the
