This study aims to investigate the food sanitary behavior of Tai-ya people and explore the information channels of these messages. The relationship of both is also studied. The researchers used the population above 12 years old of the Tai-ya people in the Da-tong Precinct of I-lan County as the population. Four hundred and ten people were selected as the subjects by using the technique of cluster sampling. The results were as following:(1) People processed poor food sanitary behavior, such as without paying attention to the producing and expiring dates of the manufactured food while purchasing, eating raw fish and meat and drinking unboiled water. (2) The main information channels of the food sanitation were television and medical personnel. People of different demographic background used different information channels. (3) Gender, age, educational level and attitudes toward food sanitation were the factors influencing the behavior. The practices of implementing health education programs and the directions for further research were proposed.
