DOH lists 8 categories of foods that will require safety certificates (2013/05/28)

To ensure food safety in the face of a growing tainted starch scare, the Department of Health will require safety certificates on eight categories of foods. These items include many of Taiwan’s most popular traditional desserts and snacks.

The range of affected products is behind fears that starch mixed with maleic acid has had a major impact on people’s health.

The Department of Health on Monday introduced a plan to handle the food crisis. It listed eight categories of foods that will be subject to greater scrutiny, including flat noodles, meat dumplings and oden. By June 1, starch manufacturers will have to produce certificates showing that their products were tested. Vendors of foods in the eight categories must post these certificates.

This shaved ice vendor didn’t want to wait for a certification from the supplier. She commissioned food safety tests herself.

The news I keep hearing is frightening. If I don’t show that these products are safe, customers won’t eat them.

Other bakery and readymade food vendors also said they will expand testing of their products. delicatessen

Shanghai Hoshing Owner
We care about this deeply and are handling it quickly. It affects the future of our business. We’re all victims.

Yichang Yufang Owner
We’ll post the certificates soon, so customers can see that we’ve been conducting these tests for many years. I sympathize with many vendors. For 50 years they’ve been using these products without knowing what additives were in them.

For now the Department of Health says the eight categories are enough to guarantee food safety.

八大類怎辦

昨天衛生署宣布，各地衛生局將在三天內清查、清除所有問題產品。6月1日起，澱粉原料廠必須提供安全證明，販售粉圓等八大類產品的店家，也必須張貼自清，否則產品就得下架。走一趟市場和冰品店，卻有好多商家，早在衛生署宣布前，就將產品送去抽驗，甚至還有攤商，連八大類以外的麵粉，也送去檢查。

毒澱粉事件，波及到許多店家，甚至影響到民眾健康。

衛生署周一，為此建立專案計畫，規定八大類食品，包括板條、肉圓、黑輪等，澱粉原料廠商，6月1日起，都必需提供食品安全檢驗單，市售業者也要張貼證明。

有知名冰店等不及上游廠商提供證明，乾脆自行先將產品送驗。

“現在聽到風聲會怕啊，如果沒有(證明) ，客人不敢吃”

還有知名糕餅老店及熟食業者等，乾脆擴大送驗求自保。

“我們也很關心，也很急啊，關係到生意、生存問題啊，我們都是受害者”

[[億長御坊老闆娘]]
“會稍微貼一下，因為這樣客人會知道其實我們很早就在做這個動作了，我覺得這一次真的很多業者很可憐，它做了50年，根本不知道裡面有加這啊”

衛生署表示，目前專案範圍，先維持八大類項目，暫時還沒打算擴大管制的範圍。
