Fushang Sheng Company was fined $15,000 for mixing imported eggs with domestic eggs in liquids sold to food service for school feeding and catering.

Jim Bao Egg Technology and SEM Food Company were also sanctioned for using frozen egg imported from Brazil and Turkiye in product.

The disclosure of admixture followed an extensive audit of the cold supply chain in 13 cities that revealed irregularities relating to segregation and identification of imported and local products.  There are more than 50 liquid egg blenders in Taiwan.

Given that egg liquid is a uniform commodity, and that the product is subject to pasteurization, declaration of nation of origin and required separation of imported and domestic raw material appears to be more of a trade policy to support domestic production rather than a valid health-related consideration.
