The red yeast rice health supplements from Japan's Kobayashi Pharmaceutical caused a food safety crisis in March this year, resulting in five deaths. Investigated by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the compound responsible for these fatalities was identified as aflatoxin, specifically soft and fuzzy aflatoxin. This toxin, found in soil and typically associated with fruit spoilage, entered the production line possibly through soil contamination from outside air infiltrating the factories. The Ministry discovered that all Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's red yeast rice production facilities were contaminated with this toxin, with further research ongoing to identify two additional unknown substances in the products.

On June 8, 2024, at 5:22 am, the Administrative Yuan proposed a reconsideration of the Parliament reform bill, prompting a warning from the political adviser Lin Ming-hsin that while reconsideration is common, it should not be taken lightly. Former legislator Lin Cho-shui pointed out that within Taiwan's current system, if the Administrative Yuan challenges a decision made by the Parliament, it is likely to face inevitable defeat, emphasizing that 'regardless, constitutional amendments should no longer be put off'. This move comes after the Parliament passed a Parliament reform bill, which the Administrative Yuan deemed to violate democratic principles, separation of powers, legal clarity, due process, and the protection of basic rights, leading to the decision to seek Presidential approval before requesting judicial review. Lin Cho-shui further elaborated on the challenges faced in Taiwan's system compared to the U.S., highlighting the potential consequences of reducing the threshold for reconsideration and abolishing safeguards for deadlock resolutions. His remarks emphasize the urgency for constitutional reform to address these critical issues.
