衛福部食藥署預告，將放寬福島5縣的野生鳥獸肉、菇類、漉油菜輸入，和其他福島五縣食品一樣採「雙證管理」及「逐批檢驗」措施，等於全面開放。2011年日本福島發生核電廠事故，全球53個國家地區紛紛對日本食品採取管制，後陸續解禁，現僅剩韓、中、俄及台灣仍有限制。
July 23: The Food and Drug Administration, Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), announced plans to relax import restrictions on wild game meat, mushrooms, and rapeseed from five Japanese prefectures including Fukushima.

Following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear plant accident, 53 countries and regions worldwide imposed restrictions on Japanese food, which have gradually been lifted. Currently, only South Korea, mainland China, Russia, and Taiwan still have restrictions.
