Traceable Agricultural Products (TAP)
Ensuring Safety Through Transparency

In response to growing food safety awareness and
consumer protection needs, the Agriculture and Food Agency
promotes a comprehensive traceability certification system.
The AFA has established the Taiwan Good Agricultural Practice
(TGAP) standards to assess production risks for agricultural
products, which includes bee products, and identify critical
points for risk control. These standards guide producers in
proper material use and record-keeping to ensure transparent
production processes and traceable product flow.
Consumers can access production information by
scanning QR Codes on product package with their
smartphones. The system incorporates third-party certification,
and when violations occur, affected product batches are
recalled, removed from shelves, and destroyed, with penalties
imposed according to regulations. This process strengthens
agricultural product safety.
