Japan: Japan 245th Food Safety Group
Link to report:
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) proposed revisions to Japan’s maximum residue levels for 7 agricultural chemicals (Sulfoxaflor, Pyraflufen-ethyl, Benthiavalicarb-isopropyl, Polyoxorim-zinc, Polyoxin complex, Spinosad, as well as Pyrantel and Morantel) for various agricultural commodities. Furthermore, MHLW proposes to designate a feed additive (Benzoic acid) as a "Substance having no potential to cause damage to human health", which will exempt it from maximum residue limit (MRL) establishment. Interested U.S. parties are encouraged to submit their comments to PlantDivision@usda.gov for plant products and to TFAA.FAS.AnimalDivision@usda.gov for animal products by January 12, 2022.
