<Safety and Consumer Trust>

At Nichirei Fresh, we are building a quality assurance system grounded in supplier management and product control. The basis for the system is risk evaluation, which rationally and objectively evaluates the size of business risk and product risk.

When we start with a new factory, we conduct pre-audits based on risk evaluation. For our existing factories, we conduct periodic inspections based on risk evaluation, and issue instructions as needed. In addition, we carry out system inspections covering the whole production process at both factories and suppliers who handle premium quality ingredients.

To provide customers with accurate information, we create product labeling and product specifications , controlling the uniform by product information. Periodically, we also carry out monitoring checks for microbes and antibiotics based on risk evaluation.

The Nichirei brand is only displayed on products that have cleared the strict quality standards during the ingredient and raw material stage. The Nichirei brand is proof of commitment to safety and consumer trust.
