In Taiwan, based on the Food Safety and Sanitation Act, amended on February 5, 2014, the government has been authorized to set up a new legal structure, so-called the three-tier quality control system, as a new approach for reshaping the food safety regime to deal with food safety problems. This system includes self-management by food businesses, testing by independent institutions, and inspections by the government. In short, from each perspective, this system brings all participants in the food safety legal regime together in the effort to ensure the safety of the nation's food products. In this paper, I am not only to introduce the new system and its practice in Taiwan, but I also would like to discuss and analyze the problems and shortages of this legal structure, especially under the theories of risk regulation. In sum, for food safety regulation, risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication, as the very fundamental, shall be included and realized into the legal system. But, how is the reality? Having the basic understanding of risk regulation for food safety is actually a bridge for Taiwan, as a connection, to the outside world. Therefore, the lesson from Taiwan, successful or failed, might be a good one to learn for the rest of world.
