輸入食品に対する検査命令の実施 ｜報道発表資料｜厚生労働省

This page is a press release from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated July 28, 2014, announcing inspection orders on imported foods. Profenofos was detected exceeding safety standards in Bangladeshi cumin seeds, and imidacloprid was found in Burkinabe sesame seeds. The inspection orders mandate testing of all lots for each import notification. Two violations of cumin powder were reported, with profenofos levels at 0.12 ppm and 0.51 ppm against the standard of 0.05 ppm. However, health risks are considered negligible based on realistic consumption scenarios.
