About this page

This page announces inspection orders on imported French poultry products issued by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on July 31, 2015. Nicarbazin, a pesticide, was detected exceeding the standard in French chicken meat during monitoring inspections. All-lot inspections are mandated for importers. Two violations were found: one batch already sold and another under investigation. Nicarbazin is a veterinary antimicrobial agent, and poses no health risk at normal consumption levels according to safety standards.
