in Japan

Trade barrier summary

This issue has been overcome by labelling products containing raw meat as "raw sausages" which is in line with Japan's labelling guidelines. The definition of a "sausage" in Japan refers to a product containing cooked, smoked or dried meat which also needs to be seasoned. This means a product containing raw meat cannot be labelled as a "sausage".
