In order to investigate heavy metal contents of rice, aquatic products, egg and processed egg products in Taiwan, Taiwan Food and Drug Administration has implemented annual food surveillance programs. From 2015 to 2018, a total of 1,795 samples were collected by local health bureaus and analyzed for the heavy metal contents, and the compliance rate was 99.2%. Only 15 samples failed to comply with the of heavy metal standards, which were 2 crustaceans, 1 shellfish and 12 century-eggs. During the 4 years, the cadmium concentrations in rice and the methylmercury in fish have increased slightly; however the average of heavy metal concentrations were below the residue limits issued by the Ministry of Health and Welfare. |
