Draft of amendment on  labeling requirements for food 
additives containing ingredients of genetically modified  
organisms  (GMOs) 
1. The regulation is  established under the provisions  of 
Paragraph  2 of Article 24  of the Act Governing Food 
Safety and Sanitation (hereinafter referred to as the Act).   
2. The GMOs  referred in this regulation compl y with the 
GMOs authorized  by Paragraph  2 of Article 21  of the Act.  
Food additives that contains food additives produced from 
GMOs or GMOs shall display the words 
“genetically -modified” or “with genetic modification.”  
Food additives that uses GMOs directly during the 
manufacturing process yet the final product does not 
contain transgenic DNA fragment or transgenic proteins 
shall display following one of words,  
(1) “genetically- modified” , “with genetic modification ”
or  “use genetically  modified ________(  organisms )” 
(2) “this product is made of genetically modified 
________ _( organisms) , but do not contain any 
transgenic DNA fragment  or transgenic proteins  ” or 
“this product ’s raw materials contain genetically 
modified ________ _( organisms) , but do not contain any transgenic DNA fragment or transgenic 
proteins”. 
(3) “this product do not cont ain any transgenic DNA 
fragment or transgenic proteins , but is made of 
genetically modified ________ _( organisms) ”, or 
“this product  do not contain any transgenic DNA 
fragment or transgenic protein , but with  genetically 
modified ________ _( organisms) ”. 
3. The labeling  requirements shall not apply  to foods 
containing material which contains , consists of or is 
produced from GMO s in a proportion  no higher than 3 per 
cent of the food ingredients considered individually or 
food consisting of a  single ingredient,  provided that this 
presence is adventitious or  technically unavoidable.  
4. Food additives contains non-GMOs which exist domestic 
approvals to food  of GMOs may display the words 
“un-genetically -modified” or “with un-genetic 
modification” and could displays the words “the 
proportion  of material which contains , consists of or is 
produced from GMO s considered individually is approved 
for use in a regulation of _______(country) or other 
synonymous terms” or the proportion  of material which 
contains, consists of or  is produced from GMO s 
considered individually.  5. Based on this regulation, the labeling method shall be 
displayed after the name of the product and the ingredients  
in principle,  or other obvious location s of the container or 
packaging . The length and the width of the font shall as 
following,   
(1) Labeling“genetically -modified” , “with genetic 
modification ”or  “use genetically 
modified________( organisms )” shall make a 
distinction with other words, and t he length and the 
width of the font shall not be less than 2 mm.  
(2) Labeling“this product is made of genetically 
modified _________(organisms) , but do not contain 
any transgenic DNA fragment or transgenic 
proteins ”, “this product’ s raw materials contain 
genetically modified _________(organism s), but do 
not contain any transgenic DNA fragment or 
transgenic proteins” ,“this product do not contain 
any transgenic DNA fragment or transgenic proteins , 
but is made of genetically modified 
_________(organisms)” , or “this product  do not 
contain any trans genic DNA fragment or transgenic 
protein, but with  genetically modified 
_________(organisms)” , the length and the width of  
shall not be less than 2 mm.  (3) Labeling “un-genetically -modified” or “with 
un-genetic modification” , the length and the width of 
the font do not be stipulated. 食品添加物含基因改造食品原料 標示應遵行事項 修正 
草案 
一、  本規定依食品安全衛生管理法 (以下稱本法 )第二十四
條第二項規定訂定之。  
二、  本規定所稱 基因改造食品原料， 指依本法第二十一條第
二項許可之基因改造食品原料 。 
食品添加物含 基因改造食品添加物之原料或基因改造
食品原料者，應標示「基因改造」或「含基因改造」字
樣。 
食品添加物 直接使用基因改造食品原料，於終產品已不
含轉殖基因片段或轉殖 蛋白質者，應標示下列之一：  
(一) 「基因改造」 、 「含基因改造」或「使用基因改造        
〇〇」。 
(二) 「本產品為基因改造 〇〇加工製成，但已不含基
因改造成分」或「本產品加工原料中有基因改造
〇〇，但已不含有基因改造成分」 。  
(三) 「本產品不含基因改造成分，但為基因改造 〇〇
加工製成」或「本產品不含基因改造成分，但加
工原料中有基因改造 〇〇」。 
三、  非基因改造食品原料因採收、儲運或其他因素等非故意
攙入基因改造食品原料，且其含量占該項原料百分之三
以下者，視為非基因改造食品原料；倘超過百分之三者，
視為基因改造食品原料。  四、  食品添加物 所含非基因改造食品原料，其並存在有 國內
已查驗登記 為食品原料使用屬基因改造者，始得標示
「非基因改造」或「不是基因改造」字樣；並得依非故
意攙雜率標示 「符合 〇〇(國家)標準(或等同意義字樣 )」
或以實際之非故意攙雜率標示。  
五、  依本規定所為之標示，其 字樣應標示於品名 、原料成分
之後為原則， 或其他容器或外包裝上 明顯位置 ，其字體
長度及寬度 應依下列規定 ： 
(一) 標示「基因改造」 、 「含基因改造」 或「使用基因
改造〇〇」須與其他文字明顯區別，字體長度及
寬度不得小於 二毫米。  
(二) 標示「本產品為基因改造 〇〇加工製成，但已不
含基因改造成分」 、 「本產品加工原料中有基因改
造〇〇，但已不含有基因改造成分」 、 「本產品不
