FANCL Exhibits at 'Children's Festival 2026 in Suzu' to Provide Food Education and Disaster Relief Support Using Kale Aojiru.

FANCL Corporation participated in the "Children's Festival 2026 in Suzu" held in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, on May 5, 2026 (Tuesday, national holiday). The exhibition was aimed at promoting "food education" to spark children's interest in food and providing health and smiles to local residents as part of disaster relief support.

On the day of the event, FANCL operated nutritional lectures utilizing its "Kale Aojiru" (Kale Green Juice) and an experiential booth featuring a "Green Tangerine Juice Faucet" that blended Kale Aojiru, manufactured at a partner factory in Ehime Prefecture, with tangerine juice. The booth was crowded with many families. Additionally, the Ehime Prefecture mascot "Mican" arrived from Ehime, where the Kale Aojiru is produced, to cheer on the children. Many families participated in commemorative photo sessions at a special photo spot.
