Today, our interest in food is becoming increasingly diverse.
In response, a wide variety of food products with new technologies
have been created
in many parts of the world.
And the labeling of such various products has become more diverse
accordingly
in terms of what ingredients are used and what substances are contained.
As a result, it may not be easy anymore to keep track of whether the labeling is appropriate or not.
By tackling with simplification of "labeling" of the food products, which is not simple and easy to understand any more, we would like to contribute to a society in which many people can choose foods with higher quality and tastes.
Making food labeling accessible for everyone.
Food Labeling Consultation
For a food label to be appropriate, the ingredients used and the substances contained are required to be appropriate. In recent years, however, ingredients and foods have become more diverse, and in line with this, the relevant rules have also diversified.Our goal is to create an environment that facilitates appropriate food labeling for those who manufacture and sell food products by providing conformity verification services in accordance with each ingredient and food product.
