Japanese Positive MRL System: Current Situation and Impact on the Domestic and International
Japan relies heavily on food imports from foreign countries, and therefore the consumer concerns related to safety of not only domestic foods but also of imported foods drove public attention. A new regulation on agrochemical residues in foods, socalled U Positive List System∩ (positive MRL system) , was enforced in June 2006. At that time, 246 agricultural chemicals are registered under the Food Sanitation Law, and about 350 chemicals have national registration withholding limits. Provisional MRLs for over 758 agrochemicals and veterinary drugs were established before enforcement of the system in addition to fully established MRLs for 41 chemicals. A default level 0. 01 ppm (uniformity standard) is uniformly applied to other remaining chemicals, mainly the chemicals which were not used and MRLs were not established in Japan.
