● Scientific Reports Journal, Food Navigator Asia, 2-9-2021: Fish fraud findings: Almost 20% of fish in Taiwan found to be mislabelled - study. https://www.foodnavigator-asia.com/Article/2021/02/09/Fish-fraud-findings-Almost-20-of-fish-in-Taiwan-found-to-be-mislabelled-study Nature, 12-15-2020: The rates and consequences of seafood substitution frauds in Taiwan were elusive. Snapper, cod and surimi products are particularly vulnerable to fraudulent substitutions. The high abundance of Pseudomonas in tilapia sashimi mislabeled as snapper unveils a potential health issue pertaining to the consumption of raw mislabeled seafood. modern seafood products often appear in the form of fish pieces, filets or even ready-to-eat meals instead of whole fishes. The food processing technologies can also change the original color and luster of the meat. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-79070-y (The website revealed the problems in 5 star hotel restaurants earlier in 2017) ●● China Times, editorial, 2021-4-25 "Ractopamine pig mystery" / Taiwan has imported pork and pig offal in total 1800 ton from the US since Jan. 2021, however, in all the markets, there's no any pork and pig offal marked e "imported from USA". Another mysterious thing is Agriculture government (Council of Agriculture) says 70% of them were already used for meat processing, but Health government (Ministry Health & welfare) says 70% of them were still in the refrigerating chamber. chinatimes.com/opinion/20210424003140-262101?chdtv ● Associated Press, 11-23-2020 says Taiwanese business may not be ethical ... mix the U.S. pork ( Ractopamine pork banned by 150+ countries ) with Taiwan pork ● United Daily (Economy Daily News, Taiwan) , editorial, 1-17-2021: Taiwan imported US beef (aged 30+ months), US pig offal and pork with controversial Ractopamine since Jan. 2021, it's not safe enough for customers because (1) A new branding initiative (Taiwan pork logo) that helps customers distinguish whether shops and restaurants are using predominantly local or imported pork was officially launched, however, it's very easy for businessmen to have that logo (2) Marking "US pork" in restaurants and shops is not arbitrary for political factor. ● Apple Daily, editorial, 1-5-2021: chaos !! Taiwanese are not confident in gov. pork control strategy ― "Taiwan pork only" seal. e.g., famous Taiwan cuisine restaurant " Formosa Chang (鬍鬚張)" is questioned to mark the official seal but partly use foreign pork. ● CTV, 1-12-2021: 18 star-rated tourist hotel restaurants were found to be irregular/illegal in expired ingredients or other food-safety issues, including many 5 star hotels e.g., Ambassador Hotel, Regent Taipei's 晶泉丰旅、日月行館 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UapKrGPkjUM) ● Financial Times, 8-28-2020: Taiwan eventually eases restrictions on US pork and beef imports. Must bear in mind you may eat beef and pork with controversial Ractopamine from 2021 on, the cost of local meat is much more expensive. ● Yahoo News, 12-16-2020: Singapore’s hawker culture was officially approved (Dec.16, 2020) to be inscribed into UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity. But Taiwan's night market hawker culture was not selected ● 83% of Taiwan's Michelin 2~3 star restaurants, and 33% of Taiwan's Michelin star restaurants, failed to pass sanitary/health inspection (kitchen things/equipment not clean, food materials on the floor, without staffs' health examination proof ) , but they passed second inspection, such as 3 star restaurant Le Palais, 2 star restaurants RAW、態芮-Tairroir、祥雲龍吟( RyuGin Taipei )、鮨天本(Sushi Amamoto). ref. to Liberty Times, 3-30-2020, Apple Daily 3-31-2020.● Chang Gung Mem.
