The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries instructed wholesalers in Kumamoto Prefecture to prevent recurrence based on the Food Labeling Law, saying that they were selling foreign-made lajonkairia lajon as if they were made in Kumamoto Prefecture.
The instructor was Ryusei, a wholesaler of lajonkairia lajon, which is headquartered in Uto City, Kumamoto Prefecture.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, from June to May last year, the company labeled over 920 tons of Chinese and Korean lajonkairia lajon as "Kumamoto" and sold them to 20 domestic distributors. ..
According to the Food Labeling Law, the place of origin of the asari is required to indicate the place where the growing period is long, but according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the growing period overseas was raised in Kumamoto prefecture due to the size of the asari. It means that we confirmed that it was longer than the period.
Therefore, on the 9th, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries instructed the company to prevent recurrence based on the Food Labeling Law.
In response to the survey, the company explained that "I thought that the growth period overseas was shorter" and so on, so it is denying the false labeling.
Last month, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries pointed out that there is a possibility that the catch of Lajonkairia lajonii produced in Kumamoto Prefecture may be significantly higher than the catch, and was proceeding with the investigation.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Rice Distribution and Food Labeling Monitoring Office says, "We will continue to accelerate investigations and eliminate false labeling."
