Leading Health-Food Company in Taiwan Bans Animal Testing

Following discussions with PETA, Grape King Bio—Taiwan’s largest biotech fermentation health-food company, known there for its popular energy drink—has banned animal tests not explicitly required by law. It previously conducted or funded at least 10 animal experiments from 2002 to 2020 that involved mutilating and killing no less than 1,333 animals, purportedly to support health claims for marketing probiotics, reishi mushrooms, goji berries, and other products and ingredients to consumers.
