Food safety incidents around the world are alarming! In order to provide consumers with a safe and secure eating environment, regulatory authorities in various countries not only focus on the food itself, but also scrutinize the hygiene and safety of food packaging and tableware. This is not a small matter, for cross-border sellers in Taiwan, these regulatory differences may directly affect the smooth clearance of your products!
One of the biggest problems with the U.S. market is the complexity of the regulations. 21 CFR, Title 21 of the FDA Code of Federal Regulations, strictly regulates the safety and quality of food and drugs, from manufacturing to labeling and importation. And did you know? California also has a special CA65 law that requires products containing regulated hazardous substances to display a warning message on the product or face a hefty fine!
The European Union market is even more of a headache. (EC) No. 1935/2004 has different standards for different materials: plastics, ceramics, coatings, silicone rubber, metals, paper and cardboard, and there are specific regulations for each of them! I don't know how a first time exporter can cope with such complicated requirements.
In comparison, the regulatory systems in Japan and Taiwan are relatively simple, but should not be taken lightly. In Japan, there is the Food Sanitation Law and the Food Additives Standards, while in Taiwan, there are a number of regulations, including the Food Safety and Health Administration Law.
In addition to the basic regulations, what is even more valuable is that there are also a number of testing requirements such as green labeling, physical property tests, sensory evaluation, etc. These are all crucial steps to ensure product safety.
