## Scope of this guide

Includes an application note linked to official sources, not a completed regulatory review for every product category.

PRODUCT REVIEW IN PRACTICE

## Taiwan: product dossier priorities

For Taiwan, compare supplied Traditional Chinese product information with manufacturer specifications and local importer details. Converting characters or text from mainland China packaging does not replace a technical compliance review. Verify nutrition-panel units and the serving basis separately.

## Taiwan: mandatory and recommended allergen disclosure

TFDA’s allergen explanation distinguishes mandatory disclosure from additional recommended declarations. Mango and sesame appear in the mandatory list, while ingredients such as kiwi are addressed in the recommended section. Translating another market’s checklist unchanged is therefore unsuitable. For a fruit snack, match flavourings, fruit preparations and compound ingredients to supplier records. The agency’s directory of labelling handbooks dated 2026 provides another route to source versions. Keep recommendations distinct from mandatory provisions in the review report.

## How is the label review dossier prepared?

Collect artwork, recipe, allergen evidence and importer details for the same product version. Our working method explains the shared document-preparation and reporting steps.

**Packaging, recipe and evidence in one review dossier.**Knowing which product version a finding concerns matters as much as the correction itself. Maintain file and revision tracking throughout the assignment.

## Sources and research method

Sources are selected research references. An archive record does not confirm current legal effect; national adoption of Codex texts requires separate verification.
