  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) and the Japanese Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) are considering instituting country of origin labeling (COOL) requirements for ingredients used in the production of all processed foods manufactured in Japan. While the current food labeling law already requires COOL for ingredients in certain processed foods manufactured in Japan, Japan is now considering expanding these requirements. MAFF and CAA are hoping to finalize their proposal sometime this fall.
