Tainted oil recall's 20% threshold based on 2017 guidelines Health Minister Shih Chung-liang says the decision to order a precautionary (預防性的) recall of processed foods containing at least 20-per cent carcinogen-tainted cooking oil is based on food safety guidelines established in 2017. The statement comes after the Food and Drug Administration expanded its recall order over soybean salad oil produced by Taichung-based Central Union Oil. The oil was found to contain excessive levels of a carcinogen late last week. The expanded recall covers unprocessed oil sold in its original form, such as soybean salad oil and blended oils; and processed foods containing 20-per cent or more of the affected oil. The contaminated batch totals about 1,300 metric tons and was supplied to three companies before entering the downstream food supply chain. CWA warns of extended heat in 2027 as Taiwan develops tiered response plan The Central Weather Administration says Taiwan is likely to experience a warmer-than-normal winter this year due to strong El Nino effects. According to the administration, the extreme heat likely to extend into the spring and summer of next year. Data shows Taiwan experienced its most severe (劇烈) heat between 2020 and 2021, driven by the combination of an unusually strong subtropical high-pressure system, La Nina conditions and regional sea surface temperature changes. Taipei recorded 100 days with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius in 2020, the highest annual total since records began.

Meanwhile, in Greece, authorities have warned residents in parts of the country's second largest city of Thessaloniki about toxic smoke from a wildfire that engulfed a recycling plant. A 76-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of starting the blaze. Greece frequently (頻繁地) suffers devastating wildfires during its hot, dry summers.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports. Canada to Choose Sub Contractor Canada is expected today to choose between German and South Korean bids to build a multibillion-dollar fleet (艦隊) of 12 submarines. Germany’s ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and South Korea’s Hanwha Ocean are competing for the contract to build 12 conventionally (傳統地) powered submarines worth tens of billions of dollars. The widely expected announcement will come just before Carney heads to the NATO summit in Turkey as NATO allies boost defense spending. Carney’s government has pledged to meet NATO’s higher defense spending targets, committing to spend 5% of Canada’s gross domestic product on defense by 2035 after reaching the alliance’s previous 2% benchmark this year.
