This page announces inspection orders on imported U.S. celery and processed celery products issued by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on August 16, 2016. Residues of bifenthrin, a pyrethroid pesticide, exceeding the standard limit were detected in monitoring tests. Two violations were confirmed: imported fresh celery showed bifenthrin levels of 0.03 ppm and 0.06 ppm, both exceeding the 0.01 ppm standard. However, the ministry confirmed no health risks at these levels based on acceptable daily intake calculations.

This page announces import inspection orders issued by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on August 16, 2016. Fresh celery imported from the United States exceeded pesticide residue standards for bifenthrin, a pyrethroid insecticide. Two shipments tested positive: one containing 0.03 ppm and another 0.06 ppm (standard: 0.01 ppm). The products are being retained and disposed of accordingly. Although health risks are minimal even with daily consumption, mandatory testing is now required for all US celery imports and processed products.
