Boxes for potato chips stopped at border for banned chemical
Posted on 2026-03-10 19:16:13
The Food and Drug Administration has blocked a 560-kilogram shipment of paper
potato chip containers from the Philippines after they tested positive for
banned chemicals.

The containers were found to contain optical brighteners, a prohibited
substance under under Taiwan's Sanitation Standards for Food Utensils,
Containers and Packages.

As a result, the Taipei-based importer now faces intensified scrutiny, with
inspection rates hiked to as much as 50 percent for future shipments.

The FDA also reported 13 other failed imports this week, including South
Korean citrus and Chinese red dates.

The dates were found to contain excessive pesticide residues, including the
banned chemical dichlorvos.

All non-compliant goods will be returned or destroyed.
