On March 30, 2022, the Cabinet Office of Japan issued Decree 21 to revise the "Food Labeling Standards". The main contents of the revisions include:

(1) Since high-oleic acid genetically modified soybeans can be cultivated by conventional means, they are no longer included in the list of genetically modified foods, and foods containing this ingredient need not be labeled as containing genetically modified ingredients;

(2) In view of the fact that genetically modified mustard has passed the safety review and has been put on the market, the food containing this ingredient should be marked with the claim of containing genetically modified ingredients on the label;

(3) The content determination method of some nutritional ingredients (such as fatty acids) on the food label is revised, etc.

The amendments take effect from the date of publication.

        2022年3月30日，日本内阁府发布21号令，修订《食品标签标准》。修订的主要内容包括：（1）鉴于高油酸转基因大豆可以通过常规方式培育，因此不再将其列入转基因食品清单，含有该种成分的食品无需在标签上标注含有转基因成分的声称；（2）鉴于转基因芥菜已经通过安全审查并上市销售，因此含有该种成分的食品应在标签上标注含有转基因成分的声称；（3）修订食品标签上部分营养成分（如脂肪酸）的含量测定方法等。该修订自发布之日起实施。
