Ham and Sew Union continues to be investigated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) at night over the issue of mislabeled beef.
The Japan Ham and Sausage Industry Cooperative Association, the industry group responsible for implementing the project, is still being investigated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) at night in connection with the issue of Nippon Ham's mislabeling of its domestic beef purchasing project to combat BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy = Mad Cow Disease). The Japan Ham and Sausage Industry Cooperative Association proposed to withdraw the application for a total of 7.8 tons of beef that nine companies, including Nippon Ham, had applied to purchase, claiming that the beef was found to be outside the scope of the project as a result of independent inspections. However, the union ignored the request. (August 13, 2002, Ebisu, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo)
