中央社報導，中聯大豆沙拉油苯駢芘超標案暴露供應鏈通報延宕問題。食藥署指出，中聯與多家第一層下游業者全數延遲通報衛生機關；南僑雖在自主檢驗中較早發現異常，卻先通知上游業者，直到7月才通報地方衛生局。主管機關認為延誤處理先機，已依食安法裁罰，並持續追查原料、產品流向與業者責任。

English Summary

CNA reports that soybean salad oil from Chung Lien was found to exceed the legal limit for the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. Taiwan’s Food and Drug Administration said several downstream companies did not report the problem to health authorities right away. The affected oil had already flowed to multiple businesses, and officials are recalling products and issuing penalties.

CNA reports that the Chung Lien soybean salad oil case has exposed delays in food-safety reporting across the supply chain. The FDA said Chung Lien and several first-tier downstream businesses all delayed notifying health authorities. Nan Chiao detected an abnormal result through its own testing earlier, but first informed upstream partners and did not report to the local health bureau until July. Authorities say the delay cost valuable response time, so penalties have been issued under food-safety law while product flows and company responsibilities remain under investigation.
