About this page

This page is a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare press release from October 6, 2017, announcing the response to genetically modified microorganism-derived food additives "lipase" and "phospholipase" that had not undergone safety assessments under the Food Sanitation Law. Following confirmation of safety by the Food Safety Commission, the import and sale of plant-based oils manufactured using these additives became permissible. Consequently, import and sales suspension orders previously issued to Cargill Japan and Mitsubishi Corporation were lifted.
