食品衛生法に基づく安全性審査を経ていなかった遺伝子組換え微生物を利用した添加物についての対応（第２報） ｜報道発表資料｜厚生労働省

This page is a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare press release from October 6, 2017, announcing the response to genetically modified microorganism-derived food additives "lipase" and "phospholipase" that had not undergone safety assessments under the Food Sanitation Law. Following confirmation of safety by the Food Safety Commission, the import and sale of plant-based oils manufactured using these additives became permissible. Consequently, import and sales suspension orders previously issued to Cargill Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation were lifted.
