The Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) of Japan has proposed revisions to Japan’s maximum residue levels (MRLs) for four agricultural chemicals (Propamocarb, Quinoclamine, Spirodiclofen, and Spiropidion) for various agricultural commodities. In addition, the CAA has proposed to revise the specifications and standards for the following food additives; Potassium Metabisulfite, Sodium Hydrosulfite, Sodium Metabisulfite, Sodium Sulfite, Sodium Dioxide and Zinc Gluconate. By March 3, 2026, interested U.S. parties should submit their comments to PlantDivision@usda.gov for plant products, TFAA.FAS.AnimalDivision@usda.gov for animal products, and PPTRD@usda.gov for processed products. The CAA will also notify these proposed revisions to the World Trade Organization.
