About this page

This page is a press release from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare dated December 15, 2017, announcing import inspection orders for Sri Lankan red chili peppers and processed products. Triazophos, an organophosphate pesticide, was detected above the standard limit in imported chili powder samples. Two violations were confirmed with triazophos levels of 0.05 ppm and 0.18 ppm (standard: 0.01 ppm). Health risk assessment indicates that consumption at detected levels would not exceed acceptable daily intake limits, posing no health risk.
