台湾毒油事件：食品安全不能妥协

近期台湾爆发中联油脂大豆沙拉油事件，部分油品被检出致癌物**苯（a）駢芘（Benzo[a]pyrene, BaP）**超过台湾法定标準，引发近年来最受瞩目的食品安全风暴之一。主管机关已要求受影响產品全面下架、回收，并追查上下游流向。

根据台湾食品药物管理署公布的调查，截至目前已有数百家下游业者受到影响，相关產品批次已公开，主管机关并对涉案业者祭出重罚，展开独立调查，同时研拟修订《食品安全卫生管理法》，希望加强食品安全管理与追溯制度。

食品安全没有蓝绿之分，也不应成為政治角力的工具。人民最关心的是：

● 问题產品是否已全面下架；

● 受影响產品资讯是否公开透明；

● 是否依法究责并追究企业责任；

● 如何防止类似事件再次发生。

「民以食為天，食以安為先。」食品安全关係全民健康，也攸关政府公信力与企业诚信。唯有坚持科学检验、资讯透明、依法查办及建立完善的食品追溯制度，才能真正重建消费者信心，守护人民餐桌上的安全。

Taiwan Toxic Cooking Oil Scandal: Food Safety Must Never Be Compromised

Taiwan is facing a major food safety crisis following the discovery that certain batches of cooking oil were contaminated with excessive levels of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), a carcinogenic substance. The incident has raised widespread public concern, prompting government investigations, product recalls, and renewed calls for stronger food safety regulations.

Food safety is not a political issue—it is a matter of public health. Consumers deserve to know whether contaminated products have been removed from the market, whether the supply chain has been fully traced, and whether those responsible will be held accountable. Transparency, scientific testing, and swift enforcement are essential to restoring public confidence.

The scandal also highlights the importance of a modern food safety system that includes strict quality control, comprehensive product traceability, routine inspections, and timely public disclosure. Businesses must uphold the highest ethical standards, while regulators must ensure that food safety laws are enforced without exception.

As the saying goes, “Food is the foundation of life, and food safety is the foundation of public health.” Taiwan now has an opportunity to strengthen its food safety framework and rebuild consumer trust. Protecting the health of the people must always remain the highest priority.
