## Promoting 'Gut Health,' a Unique Health Management Approach for a Food Manufacturer
As a company that handles food, we have a deep understanding of the importance of 'food' and are engaged in health management that leverages the unique perspective of a food manufacturer. We have many registered dietitians in-house who conduct regular nutrition training for employees, aiming to improve their health management awareness and promote understanding of specialized knowledge about food.
Furthermore, starting from FY2025, we have launched initiatives themed around 'gut health,' providing opportunities to review health from within the body, such as by having the company partially bear the cost of intestinal bacteria tests for interested employees. We are also changing the lineup of snacks and drinks provided in the pantries of all our locations to a 'gut health' specification, conscious of dietary fiber and fermented foods, to create an environment where employees can naturally incorporate healthy eating habits into their daily lives.
