This page presents an official announcement from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated December 25, 2014, regarding inspection orders on imported foods. Thai-origin water mimosa (Enhydra fluctuans) and its processed products exceeded the legal pesticide residue limit for chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide. The ministry mandated testing of all import batches. Although detected levels (up to 1.47 ppm) exceed the 0.01 ppm standard, no health risk is posed. Three violation cases from the same Thai exporter are detailed, including importer names, quantities, test results, and cargo disposal measures.
