台灣食品安全管理制度與國際接軌之可行性研究－以TQF為例

Abstract

本文針對我國食品安全管理制度與國際制度接軌之可行性，進行質性研究，首先簡介國外食品安全管理制度及其組織架構、運作方式，含ISO 22000、FSSC 22000、SQF等。其次，本文探討我食品GMP制度與前述國外食品安全管理制度之差異，以及國際認可之可行性。再者，GMP制度因故轉型為TQF，其中決策是否合理，值得回顧。最後，本文提出我食品TQF制度精進之具體建議，著重未來與國際制度接軌及其可行方案，內容涵蓋鼓勵具影響力業者要求其供應商配合食品TQF制度、加強與外國食品安全與TQF主管機關之共識、納入國際食安制度優點以減輕廠商多重認證負擔、以食品TQF作為企業取得國際食品安全管理認證之共同基準、透過全球食品安全倡議與國際間接合作等，以達成與國際接軌之策略目標。

This paper is a qualitative study on feasibility of connecting Taiwan's food safety management system with international certification systems. The study first introduces international food safety management systems, as well as their organizational structures and operating manners, which encompass ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, and SQF. The paper then discusses differences between Taiwan's Food GMP system and the aforementioned international food safety management systems, and the possibility of international recognition of Taiwan's system. Furthermore, the paper will discuss the fact that GMP was transformed to TQF for some reasons, and whether the decision-making process is reasonable, which is well worth reviewing. Finally, the paper proposes specific recommendations to Taiwan's competent authorities for improvement, focusing on future globalization of the system and its feasible plans, including encouraging major retailers to ask suppliers for Food TQF certification, promoting TQF to foreign authorities and markets, strengthening a consensus between foreign food safety authorities and domestic TQF authorities, incorporating strengths of international food safety systems to ease the multiple-certification burden of companies, adopting TQF as a common framework for international certification, and indirectly working with other countries through GFSI, in order to reach the strategic goal of connecting with the world.
