About this page

This page announces Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare implementing inspection orders on Australian almond processed products. Following detection of aflatoxin (a carcinogenic mycotoxin) in voluntary import inspections, mandatory testing of all batches of almond products containing 30% or more almonds was initiated. A violation case involved almond oil with 300 bottles containing excessive aflatoxin levels, now under full quarantine. The measure aims to ensure food safety for imported almond products.
