Summary

TFDA Taiwan revised the testing method for Hepatitis A virus in food, renaming it from 「食品中微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」 to 「食品微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」. The amendment takes effect on 1 July 2026 and is issued under Article 38 of the Food Safety and Hygiene Management Act (食品安全衛生管理法). Food testing laboratories and food manufacturers should update their procedures to align with the revised method by the effective date.

“修正「食品中微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」,名稱並修正為「食品微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」,並自中華民國一百十五年七月一日生效。”

Why this matters

Food testing laboratories operating in Taiwan should treat this amendment as requiring a documented review of Hepatitis A testing procedures. Any testing performed after 1 July 2026 should reference the new method title 「食品微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」 rather than the prior version, regardless of whether the underlying technical protocol has materially changed.

What changed

TFDA Taiwan amended the existing testing method for Hepatitis A virus in food by revising its official title and scope of application. The prior name, 「食品中微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」 (Test Method for Microorganisms in Food – Hepatitis A Virus Testing), has been updated to 「食品微生物之檢驗方法-A型肝炎病毒之檢驗」 (Test Method for Food Microorganisms – Hepatitis A Virus Testing), reflecting an expanded scope. The revision is issued pursuant to Article 38 of the Food Safety and Hygiene Management Act and becomes effective on 1 July 2026.

Affected parties, including food testing laboratories, food manufacturers, and importers, should review their current Hepatitis A testing procedures and update standard operating protocols to incorporate the revised method before the effective date. Non-compliance with the updated method may result in regulatory findings under Taiwan's food safety framework.

What to do next

  1. Align Hepatitis A testing procedures with revised method by 1 July 2026
