On Feb. 26, 2015, Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) released new draft regulations on the labeling of prepackaged foods, food additives and unpacked foods containing GMO raw materials. The period for public consultation is for 30 days after this announcement was made.
Under the draft regulation it is stipulated that all prepackaged foods, food additives and unpacked foods with a GMO content of more than 3% should be clearly labeled using a font height and width not less than 5mm starting from June 1, 2015. If the final products do not contain GMO ingredients but are processed using GMO ingredients, it should be labeled as “this product contains GMO ingredients in its raw materials but not in its final products”. In case of processing facilities where there is a possibility of cross contamination, labels should contain information on the rate of unintentional addition of GMO raw materials.
For unpacked foods, stricter regulations will be implemented starting from October 1, 2015. Processed products using GMO raw materials such as soybean milk, bean curd, Tofu pudding, dried bean curd, and meat substitutes made by soy protein will all require mandatory GMO labeling.
