Are you allergic to food? If you think
It's important to know exactly if you're really allergic to food and which food causes allergies. There are a wide variety of causes of allergies, such as those with hay fever of the Kabanoki family, who have allergic symptoms in soy products such as soy milk. Let's see a medical institution with a specialist in food allergies.
When you want to know the raw materials of processed foods in detail.
Let's ask the counter of the customer consultation room of the food manufacturing company or sales company.
When asking, it is important to explain your allergies and clearly tell you what you want to know. It's a good idea to write down the questions and make notes before making an inquiry.
Also, you may not be able to get an answer to your question immediately. If you want to get more information back or at a later date, let us know your contact information.
