Introduction of the Policy
Introduction of the Polic y

In order to meet the requirements of food-related regulations and sanitary standards such
as pesticide or veterinary drug residues as well as to identify unpredictable, unknown or illegal
additives may intentionally added and contaminants may generated from manufacturing process
that may affect human health, establishing fast and accurate testing methods is required. TFDA
continued improving inspection capabilities, and establishing new testing methods to react to
emergency incidents, as well as to hold technical exchange and training activities to strengthen
domestic testing capacity for food safety.

Implementation Strategy
Implementation Strate gy

I. Promoted domestic food inspection technology interaction
We plan to conduct workshops and invite domestic experts and analysts from the
laboratories in the industry, government, and academia to share the status and experience of

testing technology. Analysts can also learn from each other and expand the network of experts in

inspection institutions and training of the inspection professionals.

II. Aggressively develop the food inspection methods by national
laboratories with high-end inspection technology
In response to high-risk and highly concerned subjects related to the general public’s
livelihood, we actively developed reliable and time-saving test methods to quickly identify and
clarify the emergency incident. These test methods were immediately released to inspection
related laboratories, which would strengthen the governing at borders, monitoring market
products, enhance self-management of business operators and ensured the safety of citizens in

the nation.
