About this page

This page is a 2016 Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare press release regarding Irish beef imports. On March 31st, import inspections detected frozen beef tongue from Ireland that failed to meet import requirements due to insufficient tonsil removal. The ministry requested an investigation by the Irish government. By May 24th, investigations revealed that two facilities had improper beef tongue processing. Both facilities' exports were suspended, with inadequate employee training identified as the cause. The ministry halted import procedures for shipments from these two facilities and awaits detailed investigation reports and preventive measures from Ireland.
