FOOD SCARE: Plasticizer found in health supplement
By Shelley Huang / Staff Reporter
Health authorities have begun investigating whether a third manufacturer may be guilty of using illegal food additives after di-n--butyl phthalate, or DBP, was found in a health supplement under the brand name Zoeyen, which is distributed by CPC Biotechnology (中油生技), a subsidiary of the state-run petroleum refiner CPC Corp, Taiwan (CPC, 台灣中油).
The manufacturer, Vitalife BioMed Co (優活醫藥生技有限公司), which is based in Taipei, tested the product and immediately informed Taipei City’s Bureau of Health that it was contaminated, officials said on Tuesday.
In the past two weeks, health authorities and prosecutors have tracked down two companies — Yu Shen Chemical Co (昱伸香料有限公司) and Pin Han Perfumery Co (賓漢香料公司) — who allegedly used di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, or DEHP, and di-isononyl phthalate, or DINP, respectively, in food additives that are supplied to food and beverage manufacturers.
This was the first discovery in consumable products of the chemical DBP, which is an industrial-use plasticizer that should not be added to foods.
The Department of Health said that while DBP has not been proven to be a cancer--causing agent, exposure to the chemical above legal limits could cause feminization in boys and premature development of sexual organs in girls.
Hsu Ming-neng (許銘能), deputy director-general of the department’s Food and Drug Administration, said yesterday that after the discovery, health authorities suspected that a third company producing food additives laced with industrial chemicals has yet to be found.
Health officials said that initial investigations point to possible contamination of jujube powder, which is an ingredient used in the Zoeyen capsules.
Health authorities are tracking down which of CPC’s suppliers, whether domestic or foreign, produced the problematic material that went into the Zoeyen capsules. The capsules tested positive for DBP at 19 to 24 parts per million, Hsu said.
As of May 31, the department has required that companies producing five categories of consumable products — sports drinks, juices, tea drinks, fruit jams or syrups, and tablets or powders — provide proof that their products are free of DEHP, DINP, DBP, di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP), diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP).
Companies that fail to produce certification will have their products removed from the market or face fines of up to NT$300,000 for violating the Act Governing Food Sanitation (食品衛生管理法).

英語成語故事
At the time when Fan, a nobleman of the state of Jin, became a fugitive, a commoner found a bell and wanted to carry it off on his back. But the bell was too big for him. When he tried to knock it into pieces with a hammer there was a loud clanging sound. He was afraid that someone will hear the noise and take the bell from him, so he immediately stopped his own ears. To worry about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but to worry about himself hearing the noise (as if stopping his own ears would prevent other people from hearing) is absurd.
塞翁失馬 焉知非福 Blessing or Bane (Sai Weng Shi Ma, Yan Zhi Fei Fu)
Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him. "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father. After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him. "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said his father. Since he was well-off and kept good horses his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him. "Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father. One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.

大家來找「菜」英文 臉書奏功
交通部請網友一起當糾察隊找問題，今天召開記者會公佈成果，累計改進72個錯誤使用的英文，藝人夏立克並現場親自示範正確英文用法。
多數「菜」英文單純只是拼字或文法上的錯誤，例如：一般垃圾被翻成「Common rubbish」，夏立克就說，講起來這翻譯也沒有錯，只是它是一個世紀前使用的語彙；另一方面，食物飲料的翻譯最易產生誤解，像是統一賣的好菌多多，竟然直接變成「Good fungus very much」，而人蔘精華液的翻譯也變成「Person 蔘 essence fluid」，令人忍俊不住。
交通部為了讓外國觀光客在台灣能有更友善的語言使用環境，也為了提升台灣形象，從去年9月起在臉書上推出「雙語標示糾察隊 錯誤標示大募集」的活動，範圍包括交通部所屬的交通及觀光單位，到今年1月底結束。活動期間內共吸引超過2千名的使用者，民眾累計提出140張錯誤英譯的照片。
