Anti-fatigue health claims: Taiwan animal test ban to increase cost and time for registering products Health foods manufacturers wanting to make anti-fatigue claims in Taiwan can expect to spend a higher cost and a longer period of time registering products, after the local authorities banned animal testing on such items and insisted on human trials.
The Taiwan Food and Drug Administration announced the ban on animal test in health foods and beverages making anti-fatigue claims in mid-April. There will be a two-year transition period.
Manufacturers wishing to make anti-fatigue claim will need to present evidence from human clinical studies when the transition period ends.
