Of course, we adhere to the manufacturing standards set by the Health Food GMP, and under the belief as a pharmaceutical company dealing with medicines, we strive to produce safe and reliable products. We cherish 'each and every grain' that reaches the customer's hand. Our entire workforce is committed to this endeavor.
We carry out thorough hygiene management to keep bacteria out of the factory.
Hygiene management is important in order to manufacture "safe and secure" products. First and foremost is to prevent the invasion of bacteria such as E. coli and mold. Employees working in the factory change from their street clothes into work clothes, and then wear clean protective clothing managed by a cleaning company. The first changing room, where employees change into their factory uniforms, is located right at the entrance to the factory, and the second changing room, where employees put on their work clothes, is located just in front of the manufacturing area. By setting up double changing rooms and using air showers and adhesive rollers each time, we thoroughly disinfect and remove dust, preventing the invasion of foreign substances that may have adhered outside. In addition, if employees have a fever or cuts, they are prohibited from entering the manufacturing area. Furthermore, we also carry out random bacterial tests on hands and fingers.
Secondly, it is important to prevent the growth of bacteria at all costs. We always strive to maintain a clean factory and all employees clean the inside and surrounding areas of the factory daily. In addition, in the raw material warehouse, we manage temperature and humidity, creating an environment where it is difficult for bacteria to multiply.
We ensure the safety of the raw materials that become the basis for our products, and the manufacturing equipment used to make them.
Since we have partnerships with reliable raw material manufacturers, there are no foreign substances such as lint mixed in. However, in order to reduce the "just in case" to zero, we carry out checks such as sifting the raw materials through a mesh. At the same time, we carefully conduct tests for invisible bacteria.
In our factory, we use various manufacturing machines, but we believe that it's too late to repair them after they break down. To prevent machine malfunctions in advance, we check the equipment inspection sheet and record the timing of part replacements. Based on this record, we check the time when we should replace them next.
A quality system coordinated with each factory and the quality assurance department.
The test laboratories in each factory carry out quality inspections while maintaining close coordination with the quality assurance department. The main tasks involve quality checks of products before shipment and raw materials upon arrival. The factory's test laboratories are equipped with facilities for bacterial testing, high-speed liquid chromatography for component analysis, colorimeters for quantifying color, and testing equipment for heavy metal arsenic. In addition, there are testing equipment such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GCMS), and Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AA) for more detailed component analysis. We use these devices as needed, and are committed to better quality management in cooperation with the test laboratories in each factory.
