In June 2014, Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare (MHLW) established the Food Additive Designation Consultation Center (FADCC) to assist companies with applications for food additive use in Japan. The FADCC is now in operation and is accepting requests for consultations from potential applicants. FAS/Japan will monitor the FADCC and its success in improving the efficiency of Japan’s food additive approval process.
