This research report is an overview of the sanitation guidance of traditional small-scale fermented food manufacturers in 2016. Twenty-five food businesses had been counseled, including 11 soy sauce, 3 sauce, 4 Chinese red rice, 5 fermented bean curd, and 2 fermented pickle manufacturers. The guidance was based on “Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation” and “The Regulations on Good Hygiene Practice for Food (GHP)”. In this research, many fermented food businesses showed the lack of sanitation knowledge, manufactured in the mess operation sites with the appearance of pests, and improperly placed utensils and containers. Most of the manufactures did not hire food specialized personnel, and the measuring devices or recorders were not regularly calibrated. Most of these manufactures did not establish the self-management forms or records for raw materials supplier information, acceptance procedure, and process management. Records of customer complaints and product recall were also missing. Through counseling in this research, compliance of sanitation regulations, improvement of hygiene of operation sites and manufacturing process, and development of self-management forms were introduced to reinforce the responsibility of the fermented food manufacturers in raw materials, process and products. In other respect, a total of 56 fermented foods were sampled and examined. The results (failure rate 3.6%) showed that a food colors, yellow No5, which can not be used in soy sauce was detected in one soy sauce sample, and an excess of citrinin was found in one Chinese red rice sample. After counselling, the two kinds of products which were unqualified in last sampling test were reexamined and found in accordance with “Standards for Scope Application and Limitation of Food Additives”. The result demonstrated the performance of guidance in this research. |
