Taiwan border check rejects Japanese strawberries over pesticide residue
Taiwan FDA reported indoxacarb at 0.08 ppm in one shipment of Japanese strawberries, above the stated 0.01 ppm tolerance; the shipment was returned or destroyed.
The Taiwan FDA border inspection record reports indoxacarb at 0.08 ppm in a shipment of fresh strawberries exported from Japan. The page states a tolerance of 0.01 ppm for the applicable “other fruits and vegetables” category.
The declared shipment weighed 152.50 kilograms and was accepted for inspection on December 17, 2025. The recorded disposition was return or destruction in accordance with regulations.
This is a border finding for the specific shipment identified in the record. It does not establish that all Japanese strawberries, the wider production region or other batches from a related brand are noncompliant.
