About: Food safety incidents in Taiwan

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The principal food safety incident in Taiwan was over the use of the plasticizer DEHP to replace palm oil in food and drinks as a clouding agent. The chemical agent has been linked to developmental problems with children as it affects hormones. The food affected includes beverages, fruit juices, bread, sports drinks, tea, and jam. After two years of investigations, the Taiwanese government levied NT$1.2 million (approx. US$40,000) in fines against 37 companies, or slightly more than US$1000 per company.

  • 2011年臺灣發生食品安全問題事件，又稱為塑化劑事件，傳媒稱塑毒風波、塑化劑或塑毒風暴等。起因為市面上部分食品遭檢出含有塑化劑，進而被發現部分上游原料供應商在常見的合法食品添加物「起雲劑」中，使用廉價的工業用塑化劑（非食用添加物）撙節成本。除了最初被披露的飲料商品外，影響範圍亦擴及糕點、麵包和藥品等。相關政府機關在事件爆發後，明訂2011年6月起，若相關食品未完成自我檢驗，一律禁止販售。 由於對台灣社會影響甚大，該事件常與2008年中國大陆的「三聚氰胺事件」相提並論；然而部份專家從日攝取量上限的角度指出涉及的塑化劑的毒性是三聚氰胺的20倍，是30年来最嚴重的食品安全事件（亦有未具名學者從半數致死量出發認為是0.1倍者）。 (zh)
