Japanese authorities (MAFF & MHLW) have announced stricter enforcement on pesticide residues in imported agricultural products. This campaign specifically targets fruits and vegetables from Southeast Asia following recent detections of prohibited chemical levels.

Quarantine stations have increased sampling frequencies for key imports like bananas, mangoes, and leafy greens. Authorities have already flagged batches exceeding Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for chemicals like Chlorpyrifos and Imidacloprid. These violations risk triggering "Inspection Orders," mandating 100% testing at the importer's expense.
