Breakfast or brunch is an important meal for people every day. Due to the busy lives and work schedule of modern people, the first meal of the day is often purchased or eaten out, with many different types of meals to choose from. The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) is launching the Inspection Project for Breakfast and Brunch catering of 2022 to inspect a variety of breakfast and brunch shops as well as sample and test their products in conjunction with Public Health Bureaus under local governments to safeguard food safety and sanitation.

 

     The focuses of the inspection include the compliance with the regu-lations on governing the Registration of Food Businesses, the regula-tions on Good Hygiene Practice for Food (GHP), the regulations on labeling, preserving the related source documents of the raw materials, semi-products and end products, and verifying the expiration dates of raw materials/ingredients, as well as the sampling and testing of relat-ed products. Those who are found to be violating the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation (hereinafter referred to as the "Food Safe-ty Act") will be punished in accordance with the law.

 

     TFDA calls on breakfast and brunch business owners to practice self-management and comply with the relevant provisions of the Food Safety Act, or else those found to have violated the regulations will be punished according to the law in order to safeguard food safety and sanitation for consumers.
