3.the status of functional foods in taiwan 0917Peerasak C.
The document discusses the status of functional foods in Taiwan. It outlines Taiwan's Health Food Control Act and regulations regarding health food permits. There are two tracks for obtaining a health food permit - Track 1 involves individual assessment of a product's safety, stability and health effects, while Track 2 involves ingredients that conform to health food specification standards. The key criteria for a health food are safety assessment, stability evaluation, and demonstration of approved health care effects. The document also provides an overview of Taiwan's functional food market and industry ecosystem.
Taiwan has established a food safety system organized under the Department of Health, with the Bureau of Food Safety and Bureau of Food and Drug Analysis responsible for safety registration, guidance, and nutrition. Local health bureaus also play a role. For imported foods, the Department of Health and Bureau of Food Safety inspect at ports of entry, with local authorities overseeing afterwards. Several laws and regulations govern food safety and quality in Taiwan developed according to the Acts. Taiwan participates in international food safety organizations and works to improve transparency, research, and risk assessment as part of its food safety system.
The document discusses Vietnam's current food safety management system and laws/regulations. It notes that while Vietnam has established a basic legislative framework around food safety, including ordinances on food hygiene, animal health, and plant health, food standards are still lacking and food inspection capabilities are weak. Specifically, there are only around 150 food inspectors for over 446,000 food enterprises. It concludes that Vietnam needs to develop a more comprehensive food law, expand food standards, and strengthen the food safety inspection system by improving human resources, skills, and facilities.

This document summarizes the key aspects of food traceability from compliance to opportunity. Traceability has become a regulatory requirement in both the EU and US to identify unsafe food and enable recalls. It allows food to be tracked from farm to fork through all stages of production, processing, and distribution. While traceability ensures compliance, it can also provide brand protection and market access opportunities when customers demand transparency in supply chains. Technologies continue to advance traceability capabilities from paper-based systems to electronic tracking using barcodes, RFID, and analytical techniques. Effective traceability gives organizations supply chain visibility to communicate their practices and story to consumers.
This document discusses key differences between generic and cold chain supply quality management systems. A Middle Eastern cold chain is more expensive due to temperature extremes and immature regulations. Qualification and validation are often misunderstood, with qualification establishing a process can meet standards through testing, while validation tests a process under controlled conditions. For manufacturing, processes can be validated, but distribution is variable so can only be qualified. Extending quality oversight beyond manufacturing, understanding regulators, having product knowledge, and documenting every cold chain link are critical for quality assurance. Tools like CCQI, HACCP, and inventory management systems can help optimize quality strategies for specific cold chain challenges.
This document proposes strengthening regulations for the recycling of waste cooking oils (WCO) generated by restaurants and food factories in Hong Kong. It suggests introducing licenses for WCO collection, disposal, and import/export. Operators without licenses would face fines or imprisonment. It also proposes that restaurants and food factories be required to hand over their WCO only to licensed collectors and keep transaction records. The Environmental Protection Department will implement a voluntary registration system for WCO operators and develop best practices to facilitate proper handling and recycling of WCO.

My respected Chairman and guests,
Food is the stall of life, quality and safety of food is related with
health of life, so food safety is a most concern for people all over the
world. China has a population of 1.3 billion and is the largest food
consumer and producer in the world. As the economy develops
rapidly, food safety situation has become a top priority. Corporate
social responsibility (CSR) is an organic link between companies and
all other sectors in a society. In China CSR development are
becoming very important issue with government, company and
for communication. I will introduce the two issues in three parts.

A. Food Safety Risk
c. Inproper use of food additives: Melamine, ractopamine,food colour, flavouring、
additives for corrosion proof and keeping fresh.
d. Harm of counterfeit and inferior food
e. Environmental contamination such as water and air contaminate food directly or
indirectly, causing risk
17. Problems and Solutions for Food Safety
B. Challenge on Food Safety
a. Production Area:
Usage amount of pesticide and veterinary drugs has increased due to the
harm that intensive farming and cultivation has brought to crops and animals.
The development and process of genetically modified (GMO) crops and
animals has brought new thesis to food safety.
Widely use of growth promoting agent and hormone resulted in
contamination of food source. Contamination entered food chain and
threatened human health
Inappropriate use of food additives
b. Changes in Lifeway:
Individual workshop and portable sale of food which are stimulated by
economy development and urbanization has brought potential food safety
risk
Increasing consumption of fast food, take-‐away food and snacks which
contain trans-‐fat and internet addiction.
Transportation of food across the borders negatively affect the freshness and
quality of food, increasing probability of contamination.
18. Problems and Solutions for Food Safety
C. Solutions
a. Central and local Governments have to pay higher attention on food safety and
complete laws, regulations and management system.
b. Strictly enforce laws, regulations and standards, strengthen supervision and
management, and subject crime to prosecution.
c. Strengthen risk analysis and management and carry out risk alarm system and
information notification system (establish a blacklist system)
d. Strengthen production (plant, feeding) management, allocate responsibility to
specific person, improve test level and establish a recall and tracing system.
e. Crack down the production and sale of fake and inferior-‐quality food
f. Promote a sense of honesty and reputation of companies and form moral starndars
and social morality
19. CSR in China
A. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in China
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is drawing more attention from public in China
since it is a commitment of improving life quality of stakeholders and pre-‐empting
social and environmental problems. It boosts confidence of company and its
stakeholders such as employees, consumers, partners and community etc and
enables a company to reduce cost by lowering energy consumption and other input.
Therefore it creates a healthy internal and external environment for them and
increase their competitiveness, promoting sustainable development of companies
and the whole society.
Chinese Government pays high attention to the development of CSR. President Hu
Jintao said that companies should form a sense of global social responsibility and
integrate social responsibility into its management strategy. Premier Wen Jia bao
said “We should call on all enterprises to take up their social responsibilities.
CSR in China is not mandatory. Companies must implement existing laws. It should
be left to enterpreneur to do what is good for them and their surroundings. If not,
they are punished by the conusmers.
20. CSR in China
development level in China is lower international level and the average CSR
development index is only 17. Responsibility practice is ahead of
government. Market responsibility index is higher than that of social
responsibility. A system that promote CSR at Governments level and a
supervision system is absent. The establishment of CSR certification system is
at initial stage. State-‐owned companies perform better in CSR than private
and foreign companies. Among foreign companies, US, Canadian and
European companies had a better performance than Asian companies.
A China CSR website and authoritative CSR research institute which enjoys
rich academic resource has been established. Areas of sustainable finance,
environmental protection, sustainable development, labor rights,
occupational health and safety will be the priority in CSR development.

23. CSR in China
D. Increasing Food Safety through CSR
All companies involved in a food chain that operate in countries with
consistent food safety problems can individually or jointly use
CSR programs to consistently, and over the long-‐term, assist a
country/region in which they operate with such assistance as
the national/provincial/local level to:
Certify all parts of the food chain
Conduct Risk Analysis and Risk Management
Help improve each element of the food chain (from stable to
table)
Why all Parts?
No matter how good a company organizes one element of a
chain is contaminated
24. CSR in China
E. The Significance of Increasing Food Safety through CSR
China has the largest population (1/5) of the world population)in the world. It
is a significant contribution to the world as well as China itself to increase
promotes social stability and development, not only promote social morality
but also world civilization and prosperity.
China is the largest food producer and consumer in the world. Chinese food
and restaurant spreads and enjoys fame all over the world. And it will be
loved and consumed by more people if food safety is ensured.
China is one of the five permanent member states of UN Security Council.
The economy size of China ranks the second in the world, increasing at a rate
of over 10% (10.6%, 2010). This necescitates the development of CSR and
food safety.
The world needs China and China needs the world. I am convinced that
develop CSR, more closely integrate China into the world and promote joint
prosperity and development.
