Could you please clarify the current status of GMOs in Japan? I'm curious to know if there's a ban on genetically modified organisms in the country, or if there are specific regulations and safety measures in place for their use. I'm interested in understanding the policies and approaches taken by the Japanese government towards this topic, and whether they differ from other countries. Could you provide more details on this matter?

Despite this, Japan maintains an open policy towards the importation of agricultural products derived from GM crops. This inclusive approach reflects a balance between safeguarding domestic agriculture and satisfying consumer demand for diverse food products.

Additionally, food products made with imported GM ingredients are also permitted in Japan. This ensures that consumers have access to a wide range of food options, some of which may contain GM components.

Interestingly, Japan does allow the cultivation of GM flowers, such as blue roses. This exception highlights the country's willingness to embrace biotechnology in certain sectors, while maintaining caution in others.
