The members of the group are composed of employees from various functional fields. The members have developed the food safety management system and with relevant practical experience, complemented the Quality Assurance Department to ensure food safety. To ensure the continuous improve- ment and effective implementation of the ISO 22000 related food safety management system, we passed the reassessment on March 9, 2018. The goal of the ISO 22000 certification for the Songjiang Store is to become a demonstration store for implementing ISO 22000 food safety management system standards. The rest of the stores also take the Songjiang store as a model standard, and follow the ISO22000 food safety management system and the HACCP for management and product quality control. In 2018, the number of goods sold by the Songjiang Store accounted for 0.68% of the net revenue of the company's standalone statements. With the increasing popoularity of global food trade and a complex global market, companies are constantly facing new food safety stan- dard challenges. A new version of the ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System was announced on June 19, 2018, to help companies Figure 6-1. ISO 22000 Figure 6-2. HACCP improve overall food safety performance, help identify, prevent, and reduce food source hazards, as well as take preventive measures to certificate certificate achieve food safety. It is expected that a new version of the verification will be officially obtained in 2019 to ensure food safety for customers.

6.2 The Only Food Chain Store with Dully-Certified Laboratory

The food inspection center was established in 2010, and we ensure the last stage of food safety, to protect customer health, with our laboratory proving our product trustwor- thiness and reliability. The dual certification was granted after the 2011 TAF-certification (No. 2473), and 2018 TFDA certification. As such, our laboratories are internationally- recognized and every year we join the international proficiency test.

6.2.1. TAF&TFDA Laboratory Dual Certification We have worked since 2017 to prepare for the TFDA Lab Certification by renewing equipment and hiring a new inspector. The new inspector underwent 122 hours of training. The inspection center staffs have a total of 383 hours a year, with new biosafety protection equipment (class II type A2) in compli- ance with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and European Union (EN) standards- 2 fume hoods, and 2 infrared electronic sterilizers. The laboratory space was increased and renovated with a cost of $NT 520 thousand. We created a second-level biosafety laboratory that meets the requirements of the Department of Health and Welfare of Taiwan. Through this certification and on-site audits, it ensures that we comply Figure 6-8. Infrared sterilizer with ISO/IEC 17025 standards. After professional review, we received the certification (Certification No.F106) on June, 12th, 2018. Therefore, we are the first laboratory with dual certification within Taiwan’s fast food industry.

6.2.2. Enhance Food Safety Inspection Ability We strive to ensure our inspections are precise and accurate, so we follow a procedural policy. In 2018 we increased 14 proficiency tests compared to the previous year, including Central Science Laboratory FAPAS, Taiwan Food Industry Research and Development Institute, and Super Laboratory Co. Ltd. Last year, there were 19 tests related to food and water quality including: number of bacteria in 6 food tests, the food Escherichia coli group in 5 tests, 4 E. coli tests, 1 water testing clump count, 1 water testing Escherichia coli group test, 1 Staphylococcus aureus test, and 1 Salmonella test. All tests showed satisfactory results demonstrating that our procedures are internationally recognized. Figure 6-11. Figure 6-12. Figure 6-13. In April of 2018, we joined Super Laboratory’ s proficiency test on food FAPAS- Total microorganisms FAPAS- E.Coli group FAPAS- E.Coli microbes. Escherichia Coli O157H7, and Escherichia Coli had Z-scores of testing in food products 0.00, and -0.72 respectively. Our results are very close to their standard values and we will continue to receive certifications and proficiency tests to increase our inspection abilities.

In 2018, the government agency publicly declared 122 announcements, of which related information was disclosed right away to our staff (noted in their internal records). In 2018, we complied with “Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation” , “The Regu- lations on Good Hygiene Practice for Food, GHP ” , “Enforcement Rules of the Act Governing Food Safety and Sanitation” , “Standards for Pesticide Residue Limits in Foods” , and related food safety regulations and therefore had no violations or fines (Note9).

Food allergen labeling regulations: (1) In order to strengthen the disclosure of food allergen labeling information, refering to international regulations and clinical investigation data on food allergies for the Taiwan- ese population, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced the "Food Allergen Labeling Regulations"on August, 21, 2018.

Sesame and its products. sulfur dioxide residue 8. Gluten-containing cereals and their products. However, glucose syrup, maltodextrin and alcohol produced from cereals are not incorporated within these guidelines .

(2) The method of labeling allergens such as: “This product contains ○○” , is not suitable for those who are allergic to it, and therefore the specific allergenic content contained in it should all be stated in the product name. (3) Suggested labeling items for food allergens should include: Commercially available foods in containers or packages containing crustaceans, mangoes, peanuts, sesame seeds, milk and goat's milk, eggs, nuts, gluten-containing grains, soybeans, fish, etc., as specified in the second paragraph of the Food Allergen Labeling Regulations. Use of sulfites and other products such as sulfur dioxide residues of more than 10 milligrams per kilogram, etc. The contents and their products that are subject to special allergies must be marked on the container or on the outer packaging, and should be completely visible. 1. Cephalopods and its products: including cuttlefish, neritic squid, octopus, squid, etc., its products include octopus, squid and so on. 2. Snail shellfish and its products: including snails, oysters, clams, oysters, scallops, mussels, clams, abalone, etc., the products include scallop sauce, dried shell sugar, snail XO sauce and so on. 3. Seeds and their products: including pine nuts, sunflower seeds, melon seeds, etc., but do not contain sunflower oil obtained by highly refined or purified sunflower seeds. 4. Kiwifruit and its products: including exotic jams, dried kiwis, etc. (4) Control measures to avoid cross-contamination of food should be in place during the food production process. If the food production process does not use the allergenic contents or food additives, but the other foods produced by the plant, equipment or production pipelines are employed together, the use of allergenic contents and food addi- tives (although unintended) may be incorporated into food. Therefore, it is recommended that the label indicates “the production process of the product, the equipment or production pipeline has been treated by ○○” or any equivalent. (5) An-Shin Food has conducted internal communication within the regulations in August 2018, and updated the allergen information and regulatory announcements of original material quality specifications to remind manufacturers to list allergen products on August 21, 2018. The regulatory requirements were fully revised and the new version of the allergen labeling quality specification was fully tested. By the end of 2018, 11 allergen items of 21 ingredient labels and avoidance of food crossovers were completed. Infor- mation such as pollution control measures is disclosed.

Active Cooperation with the Government Food and Beverage Hygiene Evaluation

In 2018, An-Shin participated in the evaluation of food and beverage hygiene organized by the Department of Health of New Taipei City, Chiayi City and Ponghu County, and all of them achieved excellent results: (1) New Taipei City: On November 1, 2018, Department of Health of New Taipei City announced that 489 food and beverage stores had obtained an excellent grade. Among them, all of An-Shin’s 47 stores in New Taipei City were awarded with the “Excellent” grade.

A total of 160 stores have passed the assessment and 82 of them got the excellent grade. All An-Shin’s stores in Chiayi City were awarded with the “Excellent” grade, the certification rate is 100%. (3) Ponghu County: Department of Health of Ponghu County onsite inspected food and beverage stores within Ponghu. A total of 21 stores got the excellent grade.
