Interestingly, of the eighty laws and regulations the FDA has to govern food safety in Taiwan, the section on "Scope and Application Standards of Food Additives - Emulsifiers" has a date attached to it of 2nd December 2009. Was this the date on which a law was passed, or does this date refer to something else?
Make her head of the FDA.
