I.In accordance with the Food and Drug Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare, December 6, 111 FDAFood Letter No. 1111303673.

II. In order to provide the public and related units with an understanding of the occurrence of food poisoning in 110 years and the causes of various kinds of food poisoning, the department has compiled a handbook for the purpose of publicizing and promoting the prevention of food poisoning.

III. The handbook mentions that among all food establishments in the past 110 years, the number of food poisoning cases is the highest in eating establishments, the second highest in homes, and the third highest in schools; the number of patients is the first in schools. The top three causes of food poisoning are Norovirus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus cereus. I would like to ask all schools to strengthen hygiene education and promotion, and supervise catering workers to maintain good hygiene habits and abide by the five principles. If you are infected with Norovirus, you should wait for at least 48 hours after your symptoms are relieved before working with food. Schools or supervisors should pay attention to the temperature, storage time and environmental cleanliness of food at all times in order to maintain the safety of school food for staff and students.

IV. The electronic file of the handbook can be downloaded from the Department's website (https://www.fda.gov.tw/) under Publications / Books / Food Poisoning Occurrence and Prevention Annual Report.
