Dozens of Japanese people say they have fallen ill after eating Chinese-made dumplings, prompting Tokyo officials to launch an inquiry.
The frozen dumplings, known as gyoza in Japan, were made by Tianyang Food in China's Hebei province.
Japanese officials said they contained traces of pesticide, probably added in production or packaging in China.
China said no traces of pesticide had been found in pre-export inspections, but ordered a halt to production.
The issue has triggered intensive media coverage in Japan and sparked public alarm.
Leaders held an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the problem.
