To clarify the toxicity of T. exascurus, ten live specimens were collected from the Sea of Kumano, Japan, and the toxicity and tetrodotoxin (TTX) concentration were determined using mouse bioassay and high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD), respectively. Toxicity was observed in the skin, liver, and ovaries, but the testes and muscle were non-toxic ( less then 10 MU/g). On the other hand, HPLC-FLD revealed that TTX was detected in the muscle in two of the 10 specimens (1.4 and 1.5 MU/g). Based on the results, TTX is the main toxic component contributing to toxicity in T. exascurus.The role of dietitians is important for consumers to practice self-care, which includes the use of the "Foods with Function Claims (FFC)". In this study, a nationwide internet survey was conducted to clarify the understanding and attitudes of dietitians towards the FFC 1 year and 4 years after its introduction (Surveys were conducted in 2015 and 2019, respectively). In the survey of 1 year after the introduction, the ratio of recognition of the FFC was 98%; however, only 35% correctly understood the characteristics of the FFC. Similarly, in the survey of 4 year after the introduction, only 42% of dietitians correctly answered the characteristics. At 4 year after, 56% of dietitians currently or previously have used the FFC. The dietitians who had been consulted about the use of the FFC accounted for 22% and about the adverse events accounted for 15%. The advice they gave at the consultation differed according to their experience of the use of the FFC. Of the ones who never used the FFC, 25% referred no information sources for the FFC. The place to educate primarily working dietitians needs to be prepared to let
