Regulatory Authorities in Taiwan

You’ll find that in Taiwan, different health products are regulated by specific authorities. Most human health products—like medicines, medical devices, cosmetics, biologics, and food—fall under the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA), which works under the Ministry of Health and Welfare. If you’re dealing with veterinary products, those are looked after by the Animal Health Inspection Division under the Ministry of Agriculture.

TFDA wasn’t always a single body. It was formed in 2010 by bringing together four separate units that used to handle pharmaceutical affairs, food safety, drug analysis, and controlled substances. By combining these, the government aimed to streamline oversight and make sure that both human and animal health products meet safety and quality expectations before reaching people or animals.
