The 2025 Amendment to the Standards for Specification, Scope, Application, and Limitation of Food Additives, issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), Chinese Taipei, introduces important regulatory updates to safeguard public health and modernize food additive management. Key highlights include the expanded permitted uses and clarified limits for Carnauba Wax on various fruits, new intake restrictions for Sodium Selenite and Magnesium Citrate specifically targeting premature infant foods, and revised daily limits for a wide range of nutritional additives in general, supplementary, and infant foods. Additionally, the amendment reinforces safety measures for flavoring agents by strictly limiting natural toxic substances in beverages and banning specific synthetic flavors. These updates ensure alignment with current safety assessments, address nutritional needs of sensitive consumer groups like premature infants, and enhance food safety oversight in the market.
