Draft of amendment on  labeling requirements for 
unpackaged food  containing ingredients of genetically 
modified organisms (GMOs) 
1. The regulation is  established under the provisions  of 
Paragraph 2  of Article 25 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.  
Unpackaged food  that contains GMOs shall display the 
words “genetically -modified” or “with genetic 
modification ”. 
Unpackaged food  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 contain 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. Unpackaged food  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 comply 
with the following  matters: 
(1) The labeling  method: In sales locations, cards, mark 
(label) or notice board are permitted options for 
selecting either hanging, erecting(inserting), sticking or 
other ways that can be clearly identified.   
(2) The length and width  of mark (label) shall as 
following,  
i. 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.  
ii. 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 _________(organisms), 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 transgenic DNA fragment or transgenic protein, but with  genetically modified 
_________(organisms)” , the length and the width of  
shall not be less than 2 mm.  
iii. Labeling “un-genetically -modified” or “with 
un-genetic modification” , the length and the width of 
the font do not be stipulated. 
(3) The length and width  of other means  shall not be less 
than 2 cm. 散裝食品 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 )第二十五
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 。 
散裝食品含 基因改造食品原料者，應標示「基因改造」
或「含基因改造」字樣。  
散裝食品 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、  散裝食品 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 ，應依下列規定辦理 : 
(一) 標示之方式，於陳列販售之場所， 以卡片、標記
（標籤） 或標示牌 （板） 等型式，採懸掛、立 （插）
牌、黏貼或其他足以明顯辨明之方式 為之。 
(二) 以標記（標籤） 標示者，應依下列規定 ： 
1. 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。  
2. 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」字體長度及寬度不
得小於二毫米。  
(三) 以其他標示型式者， 字體長度及寬度 不得小於二
公分。 
(四) 標示「非基因改造」或「含非基因改造」之字體
