| Sumikin Bussan is setting up a system for the independent inspection of imported processed foods both in Japan as well as at the origin. In order to expand our independent inspection system from raw materials (both primary and secondary ingredients) to the finished product, we have arranged a system that will conduct inspections, particularly in China, before shipping through a capital tie-up with a Japanese foodstuffs analysis company. |

This includes the recording and record-keeping of each production lot for traceability to ensure thorough management using Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) methods. |
