06cSpecial Project

In this chapter, we compile important information of TFDA in 2019. In the year, we created
“TFDA LINE@” which integrated “special corner for consumer food and drug fraud prevention”
to deliver the information to the consumers through diverse channels.
TFDA’s National-Scale laboratory continues to improve and keep in line with international
standards. In 2019, we actively participated in international activities for testing, signed
memorandums, passed kinds of proficiency tests as well as interlaboratory comparisons and

joined collaborative studies in various fiels. We continued to safeguard the safety of drugs,
medical devices, foods, and cosmetics for the nation’s citizens through international interaction
and enhancement of analytical technology.

Introduction of the Policy

Introduction of the Polic
In the past few years, the rise of social media and mobile communication applications have
sped up the spread of untruthful rumors and exaggerated advertising in food, drugs, cosmetics,
and medical devices. In view of the fact that the online circulation of folk remedies and false
rumors affected public life and the health education and information obtained by the public
was no longer from conventional media, TFDA attempted to establish a new model for health
education and policy dissemination through emerging propagation channels. Combining the
current events and public opinions, we designed to disseminate important policies of TFDA

through the new media channels with a lively and friendly interactive approach.
