On June 26, 2024, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration issued new standards for heavy metal content in food products, lowering the limits for baby and toddler foods, poultry and livestock organs, and adding limits for nuts and oilseeds. Products in circulation must comply with the set limits starting from July 1, with penalties of confiscation and fines up to 3 million NTD for non-compliant manufacturers. The stricter standards aim to protect infants and young children from the harmful effects of heavy metals like lead and cadmium, which can impact neurological development and overall health.
