For Ten Ren, samples taken from every batch of dry tea leaves are sent to SGS for testing before it is accepted in the storehouse, and each batch of dry tea leaves can only be accepted if the samples have passed. There are 300 to 400 kinds of pesticides that "may be detected" and "may be used" in Taiwan. Ten Ren spends over NT$ 3 million on testing every year. The general sampling check in the market requires companies to set a certain percentage for sampling check, such as 1,000 batches per year, or set a certain sampling percentage for a certain type of tea; it can be conducted before or after acceptance, there is no well established standard. Therefore, the batch testing method adopted by Ten Ren for many years is the highest testing standard in the industry. The batch testing of dry tea leaves conducted by SGS totaled 679 in 2014. Regarding product labeling, Lab desk product information is 100% disclosed in accordance with regulations. There was no violation of food safety and health management regulations in 2014.
