The claim
熱湯で殺菌されるから輸入紅茶は細菌検査されない
Original review summary
The review says imported black tea is not routinely tested for bacteria, but explains that the reason is that no pathogenic-microorganism risk has been detected at present—not that hot water kills bacteria. It also says imported foods are reviewed under Japan’s food sanitation law, with testing conducted as needed.[S1]
