Do Health, Agriculture Ministry only use Food Safety Commission for subterfuge?
The committee repulsed it to the re-consultation of the review of the BSE, bovine spongiform encephaalopathy, blanket test on all slaughtered cattle for mad cow disease in Japan.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry requested the opinion of the review of the BSE blanket test in Japan that improved the inspection object in "More than age for 21 months" from the Food Safety Commission on October 21.
A committee criticized the posture of the subterfuge by both ministries , saying that "The committee has already submitted a paper about domestic BSE measures. Why does both ministries purposely request the opinion again however? Is it the purpose to obtain the endorsement for the beef import restart from the United States? I do not keep satisfactory".
