2. Advancement of new southbound policy in exportation of

nutritional supplements

There was one business submitted the application in 2017. This business passed the “2 nd
quality control” and the “expansion proposal,” and eventually obtained the approval letter from
the Administration to apply to Malaysia in 2018. The products have been sold to Malaysia
smoothly. In addition, there are nine other businesses currently in the processes of the inspection.

Section 5 Food Safety Information Network

Origin of Policy

Since food safety issue has to do with the responsibilities of respective ministries and
departments and the fact that related information is scattered among ministries and departments,

to consolidate such information, it requires collaboration and sharing of information among these
ministries and departments. Hence, the Administration applies the “five musts” to enhance the
food safety management information system, including the Food and Medicinal Products Business
Registration Platform(must register), the Border Inspection System (must apply), the Food
Traceability Management Information System(must trace), the Testing System (must test), and the
Audit System (must audit) (Figure 2-9). The food articulating and monitoring web page has been
established to grasp the name list and product information.
