The Ministry of Health and Welfare’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA, 食品藥物管理署) announced Thursday (Aug. 8) that recent inspections revealed two food products exceeding mycotoxin limits, including excessive aflatoxin in peanut powder and citrinin in red yeast rice.
From April to June, the FDA and local health officials tested 240 samples, including rice, wheat, peanuts, red yeast products, coffee, and baby food. Among these, two products—peanut powder and red yeast rice—failed to meet safety standards.
