On December 17, 2024, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF) invited public comments on a revision to the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) for Chicken Eggs and Meat by Sustainable System. This JAS standard was first introduced in 2020. This revision especially proposes to refer MAFF notifications as the references for considering animal welfare. MAFF will accept comments in Japanese only, with a deadline of January 15, 2025.
