Japan s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has told the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) that if 5 per cent of imported honey exceeds its glyphosate limit, it will stop the honey coming into Japan. MPI food risk assessment manager at New Zealand Food Safety, Andrew Pearson, said as a response, glyphosate testing would be required before any New Zealand honey was exported to Japan. Testing must be carried out in a laboratory approved to test for glyphosate in accordance with MPI s requirements, Pearson said. If test results are not provided, MPI will not grant export certification for that consignment of honey.
