Poisonous Drinks

Less than 3 years ago, we condemned China for producing poisonous milk powder. Now Taiwanese food ingredients and drinks are discovered with DEHP contamination which is much worse than the toxic chemical in poisonous dairy from China. How can we salvage the M.I.T. (Made in Taiwan) reputation we have attempted to build worldwide for a long time?

 

If only the manufactures are produced on the land of Taiwan, those products are considered as M.I.T. So, of course the toxic drinks and food ingredients are all M.I.T. products. Like the saying goes, “The pot calls the kettle black.” Few years ago, we boycott the poisonous milk powder from China. However, this time is just the opposite. Now, many countries forbid importing Taiwanese food or drink that is likely to contain deadly DEHP.

In order to save the M.I.T. reputation, a testing certificate is very important. If food or drink companies can spontaneously provide consumers the testing certificate of their products, then customers or importers will feel less anxious about their goods. Though it is impossible to satisfied buyers’ doubts at once, consumers will at least consider buying foodstuffs from certificated companies. Besides, most of the stores do a great job that they conscientiously remove the possible poisoned items from shelves. By doing so, sellers can not only protect the health of buyers but also maintain the reputation of themselves and M.I.T.

Of course it is right to discover the truth. If people intentionally conceal or ignore the fact of DEHP pollution, then such attitude must cause big problems to their health. It is wrong to deceive yourself, and eat the toxic foodstuff as there's nothing happened. Besides, it’s government’s duty to expose the evil conduct of DEHP producers. The officials are not trying to arouse our panic. Instead, they try their best to protect our right and health. Also, they punish those lawbreakers so that we citizens can eat without feeling uneasy.

Besides the punishment to lawbreakers, the most direct way to raise our reputation again worldwide is that merchants must possess conscience. Companies only focus on how to make big money, neglecting consumers’ right; such deeds are totally wrong and shortsighted. DEHP producers should think about this question: what if it is their own family members eat the food with DEHP? The reputation of companies in Taiwan directly represents M.I.T reputation. So, if they don’t improve themselves, no one will believe and even buy goods made in Taiwan.
