Implementation Measures

1. Integrate inter-departmental system

To understand and track the transaction flow of oil products, chemicals, and risk products
in real time, the Administration has incorporated the information supervised by various ministries
(EPD, MOEA, COA, and MOF) into the Food Cloud and form a Pan-Food Cloud structure
through integration and quality verification process.

2. Establish automated risk identification

In 2017, the Administration had established an automated risk identification module which

can be used to quickly generate a list of industries with different risk levels through logical
calculations and visual displays with the use of inter-departmental information, and provide to
relevant units as follow-up inspection reference. The module has greatly improved the operation
efficiencies and reduced more error of interpretation than manual review.

3. Promote food safety information

In 2017, the Administration used the existing system resources to set up the “Food

Information Counter” to reveal information in the “must trace” system, carry out promotional
activities, and enable the food safety information to be checked at any time through the interaction
among the public, the food industry and the government.

Outcomes and Benefits

1. Integrate inter-departmental system

By the end of 2017, Food Cloud had completed the integration of 16 information systems
channels in 6 ministries. In the future, we will continue to increase the interface system, strengthen

data integration and risk factor control, and apply big data analysis on possible risks. Up till now,
more than 100 visualized monitors for 27 categories have been configured to help responsible
units effectively tracking high-risk businesses and products and provide dynamics analysis reports
to serve as a reference for policy management and performance of tasks.
