食品安全檢驗中心規劃研究

台灣近十年來發生許多重大食品事件，導致民眾對於食品究竟是否安全感到不安。食品由農場至餐桌之產銷供應鏈綿長，其安全管理相對複雜，而且涉及多重主管機關。基本上，食品原料生產者、加工業者、通路商、餐飲業等所有食品業者本身均應做好自主管理，而政府亦必須扮演監督之角色。在此情況下，食品安全檢驗需求自然產生。一向關心社會公益及農業科技之中正農業基金會，打算成立一個食品安全檢驗中心，因而邀集學者專家，成立研究小組，進行食品安全檢驗中心之規劃研究。

There had been many major food incidents in Taiwan in the last decade, resulting in the widespread distrust of food safety by the general public. The way that foods were produced on the farm till they were consumed at table is so extended that makes the safety control of them rather complicated, and normally involving multiple competent authorities. Basically all the food businesses including the primary producers, processors, distributors as well as food services should be well self-regulated, and the government should play the role as a supervisor. Under this structure, the demand for food testing naturally evolved. As the Chung Cheng Agriculture Science and Social Welfare Foundation envisioned to setting up a food safety testing laboratory, it organized a research group by recruiting scholars and experts to study this planning project.
