A new level of chemical residue permitted in crustaceans has been announced by Japan’s Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry on its website under which the maximum level of Ethoxyquin is 0.2 ppm, a 20-fold rise compared to the previous level of 0.01 ppm.
Last year, the application of the barrier on the acceptable level of Ethoxyquin content caused great losses to Vietnamese exporters. Since 2006, Japan has continuously applied several regulations to control the residues of some chemical substances in seafood products.
