Imported Foods Inspection Services Home Page
According to the Food Supply and Demand Table of 2002 (made by Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries), Japan's domestic production supplies 40% of foods consumed, based on calorie supply. In other words, Japan relies 60% of foods consumed on the food that is imported from other countries (= imported foods). Japan can no longer support its people's diet without imported food.
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Labour, therefore, considers the safety of imported foods as an important issue in order to secure the "safety of diet" of Japanese people, and we have been making efforts to secure the safety.
