Philippine government has prohibited the import and sale of 15 kinds of Taiwanese food products
PHILIPPINES, 2013/06/11 The Philippine government has prohibited the import and sale of 15 kinds of Taiwanese food products that contain starch due to concerns over possible maleic-acid contamination. A presidential spokesman in Manila stressed yesterday that the ban was imposed for public safety and had nothing to do with the shooting of a Taiwanese fisherman that prompted sanctions from Taipei. The Food and Drug Government (FDA) of the Philippines announced the ban on the 15 foods on its official website.
