Japan Reports Non-Compliant Mixed Spice Exports from China
In a recent update, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has reported a case of non-compliant food product exported from China to Japan. According to the notification, one batch of mixed spice product was found to contain excessive levels of aflatoxins.
The details are as follows:
Exporter/Manufacturer: LANZHOU KAITAILONG FOOD CO.,LTD.
Product: Mixed Spice
Reason: Detected aflatoxins B1 at 9.9 μg/kg and B2 at 2.3 μg/kg, with a total aflatoxin level of 12 μg/kg.
This incident serves as a reminder for Chinese export enterprises to strictly comply with the import requirements of the destination country. It is crucial to ensure food safety by monitoring the presence of mycotoxins and other contaminants in export products. Proactive measures are necessary to mitigate risks and avoid potential disruptions in cross-border trade.
Food Partner Network advises exporters to review their quality control processes and work closely with regulatory authorities to maintain the safety and integrity of food products destined for international markets. Continued vigilance and compliance with food safety standards are essential for sustaining a robust export business.
