Food Safety Regulatory Issues

Needless to say, it is important to take comprehensive action to keep food safe in all processes covering farm to table. In this sense, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) shares the responsibility of the provision of safe food with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (MAFF).

The MAFF is responsible for food production and quality assurance and the MHLW is responsible for stable food distribution and food safety.
