Taiwan food safety issues solved by labels disclosure?


A proposed plan to disclose information about food manufacturers on food packages will create unnecessary trade barriers and has been a concern for foreign investors in retail and the pharmaceutical industry. The government has received complaints over the proposed regulation from foreign investors, among them international retail giant Costco.
                              

Costco made it clear that it would have difficulties following the law if the provision is adopted, because information about the manufacturers of its store brand, Kirkland, is a trade secret. Other food producers, including Coca-Cola Co, raised concerns over a proposed provision that requires the disclosure of all ingredients used in a food product in a registry system administered by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
                                   
                                           

  
In an effort to discourage Coca Cola from withdrawing from Taiwan, the government has worked out a solution to exempt it from another proposed rule mandating the labeling of all its ingredients, but the company still finds the registration requirement unacceptable. Actually, Coca Cola and Costco really don't need to take that so serious, because this is just one of the not wise solutions which Taiwan governors come up to solve Taiwan's non-safety food series, usually not for real, and not for long.
