JAPAN: Pesticide detected on 6 packages of ‘gyoza’ dumplings - (Kyodo News International (Japan))
February 4, 2008 – 7:19 pmKOBE — Local police were cited as saying Sunday that pesticide was detected from the surface of six Chinese-made ‘gyoza’ dumpling packages which were produced on the same day as one that caused a family in Takasago, Hyogo Prefecture, to suffer food poisoning.
As a separate development, small amounts of the organophosphate pesticide, called methamidophos, were found in two samples of Chinese gyoza that the Japanese Consumers’ Co-operative Union, or JCCU, had recalled, it said.
The amount stood at less than 0.05 parts per million, it said.
