Taiwan: Taiwan Reinforces Health Claim Regulations

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) recently strengthened the enforcement of food labeling requirements for health claims. If food labels containing a health claim are not registered and approved, TFDA may impose a fine between US$1,300 and US$180,000 for misleading consumers. U.S. exporters of products making health claims need to be vigilant with packaging and advertising material to ensure compliance.
