Gov't begins inspecting labels of fishery products

TOKYO, Japan - ''Kabayaki'' eels, charcoal broiled and flavored with teriyaki sauce, are on display at a Tokyo supermarket store on July 19 on the eve of the traditional eel-eating day. They are mostly imported from China and Taiwan. The Japanese farm ministry has begun examining whether labels of processed fishery products correctly show the place of origin under the Japanese Agricultural Standards law. The first inspection of its kind follows a series of food-labeling scandals that have heightened consumer concerns about the safety of food products.
