On February 25, 2025, the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported the detection of pesticide residues in various ground pepper varieties originating from Indonesia. This incident falls under the category of control and is classified as a contaminant hazard.
The presence of pesticide residues in food products raises concerns regarding safety and compliance with food safety regulations. Ground pepper, a widely used spice, is essential in culinary applications, making this finding significant for consumers and industry stakeholders alike.

Consumers are advised to remain vigilant regarding product sourcing and to stay informed about updates from regulatory bodies.
The Taiwan FDA's detection of these residues emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring and control in the food supply chain, particularly for imported goods. The agency continues to prioritize food safety and public health through stringent regulations and oversight.
