The factory manufacturing the dog food "MILLET ONE," developed by Archis Co., Ltd. (HQ: Yamaguchi Prefecture), has obtained FSSC22000 certification, an international food safety standard.
FSSC22000 is a globally recognized international standard for food safety management, requiring a management system equivalent to that for human food. It is one of the standards used by global companies and overseas buyers as a basis for trade decisions. In Japan, quality control is mainly based on voluntary standards, and a system where a third party certifies safety according to international standards is not common.

"We want to give our beloved dogs something they can truly trust" – this initiative is drawing attention as it responds to such owner sentiments.
With the acquisition of this certification, MILLET ONE has established a foundation not just for "domestic peace of mind" but as a "dog food chosen by world standards."

We feel a great responsibility in being able to deliver food produced under such high standards. Moving forward, we will continue to strive for quality improvement while constantly questioning what truly safe food for dogs is, aiming to become a dog food chosen by the world."
