About this page

This page is a press release from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated February 24, 2014, regarding import inspection orders on food products. Diniconazole, a triazole-class fungicide, was detected exceeding safety standards in Korean perilla seeds and their processed products. Three violation cases are reported with detected levels of 0.04-1.02 ppm, exceeding the 0.01 ppm standard. However, these levels are stated to pose no health risks. In fiscal year 2013, among 134 import notifications, 3 cases violated diniconazole standards. Comprehensive batch testing is now mandatory for Korean perilla imports.
