   ● 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 ● 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 (banned by 150+ countries) from 2021 on, because the cost of local meat is much more expensive. ● CTS news, 10-26-2020: Due to CovID19 and lacking of int'l tourists, about 300 stalls in Shilin Night Market were closed ● China Times 7-15-2020, former transportation govt. minister 陳建宇 : Recreating a new tourists-friendly environment is starting from tourist night market, till now the govt. only work on night market's toilet room, the rest is far behind the standard int'l metro's needs...     ● Taipei mayor Ko: Our night markets and markets are too dirty ! United Daily 1-20-2020: Ko wants them to be cleaner, and the food safety standard should be upgraded.   ● Liberty Times (自由時報) 1-6-2019 : Taipei City Hall's "Model Night Markets" project, aims at " Japanese tourists are willing to sit down to eat "，however, quite many stalls of Nin-Xia night market, an used to be highly cooperative tourists site, opposed, in that elevating the hygienic level and class increases their running costs (new tables & seats, tableware, etc)， and might loses their characteristics, and human touch ... ● Chang Gung Mem. Hospital Toxicology expert professor Yen Tzung-Hai M.D. (顏宗海, Doctor, Univ. of London ): Minimize the times of dining out to protect your health ! ( ref. to book <食品不安全的年代如何自保>("how to survive in this bad food-security time", April 2016))
    ● Michelin Guide Taipei announced at 4-10-2019 starred restaurants of Taipei Taiwan. Unlike other Asian street food stalls earning some Michelin stars (e.g., Singapore's Liao Fan soya sauce chicken rice & noodle, Hong Kong's Mammy Pancake and Thailand Bangkok's Jay Fai's wok-fired dishes), there's no any Taiwanese local specialty (night market cheap eats, street food) won any starred title.   Furthermore, even Michelin 3 star winner Le Palais Hotel was found snacks containing Hydrogen peroxide (過氧化氫) and Benzoic acid (苯甲酸), many tourism hotels / 5 star hotels were found food hygiene not up to standard, e.g., 5 star hotels used expired no-good ingredients, such as HsinChu and Taipei's Ambassador Hotel, The Grand Hotel, Regent Formosa, and so on, reported by CTV evening news, BCC , LTN (12-19-2019) https://news.ltn.com.tw/news/life/breakingnews/3014179 , therefore it's within reason for us to suspect food-safety of night market's cheap eats. WEF <Travel and tourism competitiveness report> of 2019 shows Taiwan had the sub-region's largest decline in competitiveness, Taiwan ranks 10th in Asia, Taiwan's prioritization of travel & tourism ranks world No.75 ... travel & tourism New !

● Michelin Guide Taipei announced at 3-14-2018 starred restaurants of Taipei Taiwan. Unlike other Asian street food stalls earning some Michelin stars (e.g., Singapore's Liao Fan soya sauce chicken rice & noodle, Hong Kong's Mammy Pancake and Thailand Bangkok's Jay Fai's wok-fired dishes), there's no any Taiwanese local specialty (night market cheap eats, street food) won any starred title. Besides, Liao Fan was just a stall in Singapore, was upgraded to a restaurant in Taipei's prime and expensive location, still failed to win any title in Michelin Guide Taipei, including Bib Gourmand, and Plate (L'Assiette Michelin). Further info. about Taiwan's night market street food in Michelin non-starred list is in the next web-page.
