Survey on Good Hygiene Practice (GHP) for Commercial Frozen and Refrigerated Foods in 2020-2022

因應現代人工作繁忙及後疫情時代來臨，國人飲食習慣改變，民眾對於冷凍冷藏調理食品之需求大幅增加，為管理該類食品之衛生安全及品質，衛生福利部食品藥物管理署（下稱食藥署）自109-111年規劃並執行市售流通冷凍冷藏調理食品稽查專案，查核475家食品販賣業者之食品良好衛生規範準則（Regulations on Good Hygiene Practice for Food, GHP）執行情形，結果僅110年有1家不符規定，初查常見缺失樣態以食品從業人員未每年進行體檢及環境衛生缺失為主，另抽驗冷凍冷藏調理食品共804件，其中109年有3件不合格，110年有1件不合格，不合格產品類別以冷凍米製品類最多，建議地方衛生主管機關可加強相關業者教育訓練並持續加強查核抽驗，以促使業者符合相關規範。

Fast-paced modern lifestyle and the aftermath of pandemic have caused a surge in demand for commercial frozen and refrigerated foods, resulting in a shift in consumption habits. Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA) launched an inspection project for such foods and food companies to ensure their adherence to the relevant standards since 2020. Good hygiene practice for food (GHP) inspections revealed that only one out of 475 cases was found serious violation. Among all non-complied issues, failure on carrying out annual medical examinations for food practitioners and inadequate environmental sanitation were highlighted. The COVID-19 pandemic could be a factor in these violations, as the food industry neglected routine medical examinations due to the peak period of the epidemic in 2021. Additionally, unstable workforce numbers and the need for epidemic prevention measures may affect food environmental sanitation works as well. The results on the inspection of frozen and refrigerated food showed 4 out of 804 items failed mainly on rice products between 2020 and 2021. Based on the finding, local government health departments needed to provide relevant education and training courses for food companies. To ensure food hygiene, food quality, and promote public health, continually random inspections will be reinforced.
