About this page

This page is a press release from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated September 15, 2016, announcing inspection orders on imported cumin seeds from China. Profenofos, an organophosphate pesticide, was detected above the standard limit (0.05 ppm) in dried cumin seeds. Two violations were identified with residue levels of 0.08 ppm and 0.13 ppm respectively. The ministry confirms no health risks at these levels and has implemented storage or confirmatory measures on all affected shipments.
