About this page

This page announces inspection orders on imported U.S. celery and processed celery products issued by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on August 16, 2016. Residues of bifenthrin, a pyrethroid pesticide, exceeding the standard limit were detected in monitoring tests. Two violations were confirmed: imported fresh celery showed bifenthrin levels of 0.03 ppm and 0.06 ppm, both exceeding the 0.01 ppm standard. However, the ministry confirmed no health risks at these levels based on acceptable daily intake calculations.
