Kunsei Club Co., Ltd. has sent an open questionnaire to the Commissioner of the Consumer Affairs Agency on June 3, 2026. This action follows the agency's failure to explain discrepancies between its disclosed documents and those from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare regarding puberulic acid in the Kobayashi Pharmaceutical red yeast rice incident. While the Consumer Affairs Agency stated its information came from the health ministry, the health ministry denied publishing puberulic acid as the causative agent. The company seeks a clear explanation for this contradiction, asking for the specific source documents and whether the agency verified this with the health ministry. The deadline for a response is set for June 15, 2026.
