Taipei, March 2 (CNA) Several shipments of teas from three countries, including Japan, were recently rejected at Taiwan s borders, because they were found to contain excessive levels of pesticide or herbicide residues, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said Tuesday.
The chemicals detected in the teas included the herbicide Clomazone, for which Taiwan has a zero residue policy, the FDA said in a press release.
FDA inspectors found Clomazone residues in a 287-kilogram shipment of chamomile tea made by the Singaporean luxury brand TWG, which was imported from Egypt, according to the release.
