<h1>Japan Sets New Ethoxyquin Limit for Crustaceans at 0.2 ppm After Advocacy by Indian Marine Authority.</h1> The Japanese Health Ministry has set the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) for Ethoxyquin in crustaceans, including farmed shrimp, at 0.2 ppm, concluding an 18-month effort by the Marine Products Export Development Authority, supported by Indian governmental bodies. This decision follows Japan's abrupt enforcement of a 0.01 ppm default level in August 2012, which was contested due to a lack of scientific basis. The Food Safety Commission recommended an Accepted Daily Intake of 0.0083 mg/kg body weight. Despite regulatory challenges, India's shrimp exports to Japan increased significantly in 2013, driven by supply shortages from other countries and growing confidence in Indian shrimp.
