Taiwan introduces Restrictions and Labeling Requirements for Genetically Modified Trans-Resveratrol in Food Products

In accordance with the Food Safety and Hygiene Management Law, this regulatory order has been established to address the usage and labeling requirements of trans-resveratrol, a food raw material derived from genetically modified brewer's yeast known as the EFSC4687 strain.

The regulations impose certain provisions when trans-resveratrol is used as a food raw material. Firstly, the specifications listed in the schedule must be met. Secondly, if trans-resveratrol is used in dietary supplements for adult consumption, there is a daily limit of 150 mg. 

Moreover, foods incorporating trans-resveratrol as raw material are required to be labeled with a warning stating, "This product is for adult use only. Pregnant women and lactating individuals should avoid consumption, and individuals taking medication should consult a physician before use."
