Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (“TFDA”) aims to pursue the quality and safety of food,
medicinal product, medical devices, and cosmetics in our daily life to address Ministry of Health and
Welfare's promise of promoting public health and welfare. Every year TFDA compiled and published
a annual report to let the public be aware of TFDA’s important policies and administrations
outcomes.
2017 was an advanced and prosperous year for TFDA. With regard to food safety
management, the five-point food safety policy is revised into the following five
subcategories: “Strengthen source control management,” “Re-establish the food
production-management system,” “Strengthen government inspection capabilities,”
“Increase liability for producers and vendors,” and “Encourage and create
oversight platforms.” In terms of food risk analysis, the Decision Support Center
applies mega data and the technique of data mining to detect risk levels, and
build surveillance models that provide as a reference for other business
departments. The ultimate goal of food safety was achieved through the
combination of proper management policies and the five-point food
safety policy, including the reinforcement of safety control, the
promotion of industrial development, and the construction of “safe
buying, safe eating” to formulate a safe food environment.
When reviewing the management outcomes of the
food source control, TFDA strengthened food hygiene and
safety via scientific evidence and the implementation of
administrative management, inspection, testing, and
audition. The administration is accessible for the
public and the food industries through the “Food
and Medicinal Products Business Registration
Platform,” which includes approximately
450,000 registry data and relevant
PROFESSION announcements.
