Quality Assurance
Product Labelling
Labeling on products is checked to ensure that it complies with relevant laws and regulations*, voluntary industry standards, and Suntory Beverage & Food’s own standards. In addition, we endeavor to use accurate expressions that do not cause misunderstanding or misinterpretation, and expressions that are easy for consumers to understand, including in advertisements and publicity.

*Food Sanitation Act, Food Labeling Act, JAS Act, Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, Health Promotion Act, Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, Measurement Act, Containers and Packaging Recycling Act, etc.
