<The manner of submitting comments>

The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) will amend the existing standards and specifications for food as shown in this document. Please provide comments in writing by Thursday, November 8, 2018. After the given date, comments should be directed to the enquiry point in accordance with the WTO/SPS Agreement.

With regard to agenda item 1, the SPS notification will be made for the setting or revision of the MRL for the agricultural and veterinary chemicals except for Triforine and Flupyrimin for which regulations will not be strengthened by this amendment.

If you wish to request Japan to adopt the same limits as your country’s MRLs, you are requested to submit data supporting your country’s MRLs, such as risk assessment and residue data.

Item 1. Establishment of the Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals in Foods

The Food Sanitation Act authorizes the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to establish residue standards (maximum residue limits, “MRLs”) for pesticides, feed additives, and veterinary drugs (hereafter referred to as “agricultural and veterinary chemicals”) that may remain in foods. Any food for which standards are established pursuant to the provisions in Article 11, Paragraph 1 of the act is not permitted to be marketed in Japan unless it complies with the established standards.

On May 29, 2006, Japan introduced the Positive List System1 for agricultural and veterinary chemicals in food. All foods distributed in the Japanese marketplace are subject to regulation of the system.

The MHLW is going to modify or newly set MRLs in some commodities for the following substances:

Pesticides：Difenoconazole, Spirotetramat, Tetraconazole, Triforine, Flutriafol, Flupyrimin

Pesticides and Veterinary drugs：Fenitrothion

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿1 The aim of the positive list system is to prohibit the distribution of any foods which contain agricultural chemicals at amounts exceeding a certain level (0.01 ppm) in the Japanese marketplace unless specific maximum residue limits (MRLs) have been set.

Summary

Difenoconazole (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRL in one commodity in response to a request for setting MRL by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) with the intention to expand its use pattern.

Spirotetramat (pesticide: insecticide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to requests for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern, and for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004).

Tetraconazole (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to requests for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern and for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004). The MHLW is going to newly set MRLs for animal products in response to a request from the MAFF. The MHLW is also going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.

Triforine (pesticide: fungicide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Flutriafol (pesticide: fungicide): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in one commodity in response to a request for setting import tolerances based on the Guideline for Application for Establishment and Revision of Maximum Residue Limits for Agricultural Chemicals Used outside Japan (Shokuan No. 0205001, 5 February 2004)..Flupyrimin (pesticide: insecticide): Not permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to newly register this substance as a pesticide. The MHLW is also going to newly set MRLs for fish and animal products in response to a request for setting MRL by the MAFF. This action will not strengthen the current regulation for any commodities.

Fenitrothion (pesticide and veterinary drug: insecticide): Permitted for use in Japan. The MHLW is going to establish MRLs in some commodities in response to a request for setting MRLs by the MAFF with the intention to expand its use pattern. The MHLW is also going to newly set MRL for fish (animal products) in response to a request for setting MRL by the MAFF. In addition, the MHLW is going to modify MRLs in some commodities that were provisionally set at the introduction of the Positive List System.

※1 Codex MRL is not set for rice (brown rice), but set for cereal grains including rice with husk. For rice (brown rice), the draft MRL is set based on the residue data from the domestic supervised residue trial because the dietary exposure assessment using the processing factor to brown rice would be beyond the tolerance level when Codex MRL is set.

※2 For wheat and corn in which the Codex has set MRLs, the draft MRLs are set based on the residue data from the domestic supervised residue trials because the dietary exposure assessment would be beyond the tolerance level when Codex MRLs are set.

※3 Codex MRLs for rice bran and wheat bran are not referred to because the draft MRLs for rice and wheat which are raw commodities are not set referred to Codex MRLs.
