Japan CO-OP Federation (Abbreviation: Japan CO-OP, Representative Director and Chairman: Chitose Arai) will launch the "CO・OP Soybean Soboro and Vegetable Mix Dry Pack (with Carrot and Corn)" on April 1, 2026, from its easy-to-use dry pack series that requires no pre-preparation. CO・OP Soybean Soboro and Vegetable Mix Dry Pack (with Carrot and Corn)

Soy meat, an alternative meat made from agricultural products, is gaining attention against the backdrop of global population growth, concerns about the environmental impact of livestock farming, and the recent rise in health consciousness. It is rich in plant-based protein, low in fat and calories, and can be produced with fewer resources and lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to livestock products, leading to expectations for increased demand as a food product for addressing environmental issues. The "CO・OP Soybean Soboro and Vegetable Mix Dry Pack" is a product that mixes soboro-style soy meat with colorful vegetables. In addition to soybean protein, it allows consumers to intake vegetables together, and it is a new product that makes it easy to consume protein, responding to the request from members to "provide healthy and balanced meals for their families."

The CO-OP dry pack series includes products such as "Soybean Dry Pack," "Hijiki Dry Pack," "Sweet Corn Dry Pack," "Mixed Beans Dry Pack," and "Burdock Root Dry Pack." The dry pack manufacturing method steams ingredients using their own moisture without adding water, which prevents umami and flavor from dissolving into the water, thus preserving the original taste of the ingredients. Furthermore, this product is part of the "Healthy CO-OP" initiative, which supports health from the dining table by staying close to the members' eating habits and health challenges. In response to the voices asking for healthier options that are easier to incorporate into daily meals, we are expanding the dry pack series as a health support food that allows for delicious and nutritious intake even on busy days. The dry pack series, which does not require rehydration and preserves the original taste of the ingredients, has received high support from members since its launch.

●New Product Features This product mixes soboro-style soy meat with colorful vegetables (carrots and corn). It does not require rehydration and can be used immediately after opening the bag, making it easy to consume protein. By simply adding a little effort and combining it with salads, soups, or side dishes, a simple dish can be completed.

Japan CO-OP Federation will continue to develop products that align with the voices and lifestyles of its members.
