Japan Recognizes US HACCP System for Meat and Poultry
On May 29, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) confirmed that the U.S. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system for meat and poultry is sufficient to meet new import requirements scheduled to come into effect on June 1, 2021 under Japan’s revised Food Sanitation Act. U.S. exporters of these products to Japan do not need to take any additional action.
