The Taipei Times has more on the banned-addatives-in-meat-imports-to-be-unbannned story (here).
In addition to the main thread, the article contains a few food facts, such as:
1. Taiwanese eat more pork than beef.
2. The number of households engaging in pig-raising exceeds 10,000. They rear about 6 million pigs nationwide and pork tops the list of agricultural goods in terms of production value.
3. Taiwan is about 95 percent self-sufficient in pork production, while only 7 percent of its beef is locally provided.
