On Tuesday (Jan. 26) TFDA announced a list of 29 imported items that were seized for failing port-of-entry inspections, including the Australian ham. According to the inspection results, the Tibaldi boneless smoked ham contained excess nitrous acid, so 960 kilograms of the product was destroyed. Many seafood items were also found to be substandard, including five batches of oysters imported from Vietnam that were contaminated by norovirus, while two batches of anglerfish imported from Japan contained excessive cadmium, per CNA. Additionally, five batches of tea products imported from Japan were found to have contained too many pesticides.
