Operation of food labeling standards based on the Food Labeling Law following the spread of new coronavirus infection (April 2020, 4: Consumer Affairs Agency, Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare notification)

The Food Labeling Law (Law No. 25 of 70) stipulates food labeling standards (Cabinet Office Ordinance No. 27 of 10) to ensure the appropriateness of food labeling.Currently, the supply of food raw materials or additives (hereinafter referred to as "raw materials, etc.") is stagnant as the global expansion of new coronavirus infections is seriously affecting the domestic and overseas food supply chains. As a result, there is concern that food-related businesses that are considering switching raw materials will not be able to immediately respond to changes in container and packaging materials, and production will be delayed, which will hinder the smoothness of food production and distribution.In this way, in the current situation where the spread of new coronavirus infections is affecting social and economic activities, from the viewpoint of ensuring a food production system that meets the demands of general consumers, the Food Labeling Law No. 27 Cabinet Office Ordinance that stipulates allergens, expiration dates, whether or not heating is required to safely consume food, and other matters that have an important effect on safety when ingesting food, as stipulated in Article 11. Except for the matters stipulated in Article 1 of the XNUMX Cabinet Office Ordinance), it is actually used with the labeling items such as the raw materials, the origin of the raw materials or the amount of nutritional components indicated on the containers and packaging based on the food labeling standards. Even if there is a discrepancy in the displayed items such as raw materials, the place of origin of the raw materials, or the amount of nutritional components obtained from the raw materials, general consumers will be notified in the store, company announcement, etc. If other information such as the proper raw materials for the food is transmitted in a timely and appropriate manner by posting on the website, etc., it is not necessary to carry out the crackdown for the time being, so take appropriate measures. please.In addition, I would like to add that we do not exclude the crackdown on malicious violations that deceive general consumers by taking advantage of this notice.
