About this page

This page is a press release from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announcing the implementation of mandatory inspection orders for Ghanaian cocoa beans and their processed products. Monitoring tests detected the insecticide fenvalerate exceeding safety standards (0.04 ppm versus 0.01 ppm limit) in raw Ghanaian cocoa beans. Consequently, all lots must undergo inspection going forward. The violation involved 800 bags (approximately 49.9 tons) imported by Itochu Food Corporation and are currently held in storage. The ministry confirms no health risks are posed.
