Allergen-free Products

We would like all family members to gather around the dining table and eat the same food, regardless of whether they have food allergies. It was based on this hope that the Group developed allergen-free foods and manufactures them at a special-purpose factory where seven specified allergen ingredients (milk, egg, wheat, buckwheat, peanut, shrimp, and crab) are banned from the premises, for supply to our customers.

Special Purpose Factory for Allergen-Free Products

To ensure that customers can eat our products with confidence, in 2007 the Group established a special-purpose factory where specified allergen ingredients are banned from the premises in Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture.

To prevent contamination, all lots of main ingredients used at the factory are tested using an immunochromatographic technique. Only ingredients free from the seven specified allergen ingredients are used.
