About this page

This page is a press release from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announcing the implementation of inspection orders for imported Egyptian calendula (marigold) and its processed products. The order was issued due to detection of chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate pesticide and insecticide, exceeding safety standards. Two violations were identified and all affected products were discarded. Chlorpyrifos has an established acceptable daily intake level, and the detected concentrations pose no health risks to consumers.
