Abstract
Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) was requested by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) to conduct a risk assessment of cattle meat and offal imported from the United States of America (U.S.A.), Canada and Ireland. FSCJ assessed potential influences on bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) risks to human health in cases of the alteration of cattle age to be allowed to import of cattle meat and offal from the three countries, from the current under 30 months of age to no age limitation, in line with the international standards for mitigating BSE risks. FSCJ judges that the control measures regarding "risks related to slaughtering and meat processing" are appropriately implemented in the three countries. FSCJ concludes that potential variations of BSE risks to human health by removing the age limit on cattle meat and offal excluding specified risk material (SRMs) imported from the three countries in line with the international standards is negligible.
