The ministry of climate change and environment has issued a warning prohibiting the import of Japanese Kikkoman soy sauce due to its alcohol content.
The Ministry also bans the circulation of the product in the UAE market in accordance with ministerial resolution No (539) of 2012 on the Standard Guide to the Procedures for the Prohibition of Handling and Banning of Food.
"The decision was based on the results of the tests conducted by specialized accredited laboratories, which confirmed that several samples of the product with different production dates violated the rules," informed sources said.
