As a result of special crackdowns on violations of the country of origin labeling of agricultural, livestock, and fishery products sold at wholesale markets, large supermarkets, and fish markets until February 7, it was announced that nine violators had been arrested.

A total of nine companies were arrested, including one company that engaged in undeclared business activities in the instant meat sales and processing business, and three companies that violated business regulations such as storing livestock products past their expiration dates.
Sashimi shop A labeled Japanese scallops as being from North Korea or China. Sashimi shop B uses Japanese scallops made in Japan.

``We will continue to strengthen enforcement so that citizens can trust and purchase safe agricultural, livestock, and marine products.'' Meanwhile, China is importing Japanese marine products in response to the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean.
is completely prohibited. As of 2022, China, which accounted for more than half of Japan's scallop export value, has banned seafood imports, so Japan has chosen South Korea and the European Union (EU) as new sales channels.
