Addressing the controversy over Fipronil residues in eggs, the FDA decided to relax the residue standards for poultry eggs from 'non-detectable' to 10ppb, citing potential residues in imported poultry feed. This decision draws strong criticism from the author, who argues the government is sacrificing public health to protect the interests of capital (feed importers), linking it to the 'Pro-Capitalist Party' (DPP) criticisms surrounding Labor Standards Act amendments.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) uncovered in March 2016 that 'Kuan-○ Biological Technology Industry Co., Ltd.' produced 'Lutein Sublingual Drops' that illegally used food additives, carried false lutein concentration labels (tested values far lower than labeled), and added expired blueberry flavor. The FDA has sealed about 165.1 kg of non-compliant products and transferred the case for prosecution. The FDA urges the public who have purchased this product to return it as soon as possible. At the end of the article, the editor calls on the FDA to disclose the full name of the manufacturer to facilitate immediate identification and return by the public.
