Recently, the environmental protection department of Taiwan intends to add a total of 15 chemical substances in three categories, including chemical substances with food safety hazards, new psychoactive substances, and explosive-prone chemical substances, as chemical substances of concern, and plans to manufacture, import, sell, A series of activities such as use, storage and transportation are controlled. The deadline for comments is September 22, 2022.

Among them, food safety hazard chemical substances to be added lead monoxide, lead trioxide, sodium sulfide, sodium thiocyanate and beta-tea (naphthalene) phenol and other 5, see Table 1:
