263rd Japan Food Safety Group

The Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) of Japan proposed two sets of revisions. One is for Japan’s maximum residue levels for seven agricultural chemicals (Acrinathrin, Dazomet, Metam and Methyl isothiocyanate, Flutianil, Fosthiazate, Inpyrfluxam, Spirotetramat, Sulfoxaflor, and Dibutylhydroxytoluene) for various agricultural commodities. The second is for the CAA’s proposal to eliminate 32 food additives from Japan’s “List of Existing Food Additives.” Interested U.S. parties should submit their comments to PlantDivision@usda.gov for plant products, TFAA.FAS.AnimalDivision@usda.gov for animal products, and PPTRD@usda.gov for processed products by October 28, 2024. The CAA will also notify these proposed revisions to the World Trade Organization.
