Commentary
①No carrot "name" is not displayed
②There is no indication of "origin" of onion
When selling fresh foods such as vegetables, it is necessary to indicate "name" and "origin of origin". In the case of fresh foods, it is also possible to display close to the product or use the display on packaging bags and boxes, as shown in the illustration. If you want to check the place of origin such as vegetables, check it out!
③There is no indication of "raw material origin" of breadcrumbs
In the case of processed foods, it is necessary to display the "raw material origin" of the product.
Origin of raw materials
"All processed foods (excluding imported products)" manufactured and sold after April 1, 2022 indicate the place of origin of raw materials.
The content displayed varies depending on whether the most raw material contained in the product is fresh or processed food.
When the most raw material in the product is fresh food
If the most raw material is fresh food, the production area is indicated as "XX". For foreign products, it is displayed as "country name", and for domestic products, "domestic", "prefecture name", "municipal name", and "generally well-known place name" are displayed. [Example] Canadian, domestic and Kanagawa Prefecture
When the raw material contained in the product is processed food
If the most raw material is processed food, the manufacturing site is indicated as "XX Manufacturing". [Example] Manufacturing and Domestic Manufacturing
In addition, if the production area of fresh food, which is the largest raw material used in the raw material, is known, the place of origin may be indicated. [Example] Flour (Wheat (Hokkaido))
Origin
It refers to the place where fresh food (agricultural products, livestock products, marine products) grew or harvested.
Whereas the origin of raw materials is indicated on processed foods, fresh foods indicate the origin of origin.

In the case of imported goods, the country of origin
☑ Livestock products

In the case of imported goods, the country of origin
Country of origin
Imported processed foods must be labeled the country where the food was manufactured (the country of origin).

④There is no indication of "expiration date" of breadcrumbs
For processed foods, the expiration date display (expiration date or expiration date) is required.
There are two types of expiration dates for foods: "expiration date" and "expiration date". The "expiration date" is displayed on foods whose quality deteriorates rapidly and should be consumed promptly, and the "expiration date" is the "expiration date" It is displayed on foods whose quality is relatively less likely to deteriorate. Normally, the expiration date or expiration date must be displayed until the "date", but for foods whose expiration date must be displayed, those that have a period from the date of manufacture to the expiration date exceeds 3 months, It is permitted to be displayed as "Date".
⑤There is no indication of "heat amount" of breadcrumbs
Nutrition ingredient label requires labeling of "heat", "protein", "lipid", "carbohydrate", and "salt equivalent" are required. If you are worried about calories and salt content, check the figures!
Let's check the brochures and videos!
