Japan more seriously checks shrimp imports from Vietam
By Tuan Minh 13:24, 2014/03/22
Japan is now inspecting virtually all shrimp imported from Vietnam for oxytetracycline (OTC) after the antibiotic was detected in two separate batches of shrimp in February and March 2014.

The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) has sent a letter of inquiry to the Directorate of Fisheries to regarding the issue.

Earlier, Vietnamese shrimp was listed in Japan’s annual supervision program with two prohibited antibiotics namely Chloramphenicol (since February 21, 2014) and Oxytetracycline (since February 27, 2014).

The association has updated the information and asked local shrimp businesses to strengthen self-regulation of antibiotics in shrimp, especially the two mentioned substances.

VASEP has been asked to supervise and strengthen control over input materials and encourage businesses and shrimp breeders to better self-regulate the two substances effectively.
