Japan: CAA Invites Public Comment on Proposed Revisions to Food Labeling Standards

In addition, CAA proposes the removal of the high oleic acid trait from the list of specific genetically engineered agricultural traits that require a GE label. The public comment period closes on November 26, 2021.
