Whale meat imported into Japan from Norway has been dumped after tests found it contained up to twice the permitted level of harmful pesticide, the government said Wednesday.

The announcement came after Western environmentalists first exposed the issue, in the latest salvo of a battle that pits Japan against many of its usual allies, such as Australia and New Zealand.

An official at the health ministry in Tokyo said whale meat was subject to extensive routine tests before and after import.

“We conduct strict checking because whales tend to collect contaminants in the environment such as pesticides and heavy metals,” he said.

He added that tests on Norwegian whale meat imported in April showed 0.2 parts per million of aldrin and dieldrin combined, in addition to 0.07 ppm of chlordane. Meat that arrived in June was found to have 0.2 ppm of dieldrin.[.....}

どうも最初にそれを明らかにしたのは海外の環境団体のようだが、厚労省は通関の前後に厳しい検査を毎回行っている年、４月に輸入されたノルウェーのクジラ肉には0.2ppmのアルドリンとディルドリン（殺虫剤）、0.07ppmのクロルダインが含まれていた、という。
