### Kanto Diet Cook Tokorozawa Factory (Miyoshi-machi, Iruma-gun, Saitama Prefecture)
Since October 2021, the factory has been donating mainly long-life prepared dishes to children's cafeterias and food banks.
While Kanto Diet Cook manufactures fresh prepared dishes with a short shelf life, it had previously been considering how to utilize surplus portions that could not be plated. After exploring various solutions for challenges such as donation methods, usage timing by recipients, and food labeling, this year, a solution was found, and an agreement was signed with a children's cafeteria, marking the company's first provision of fresh prepared dishes.
This year, a total of approximately 6 tons of long-life and fresh prepared dishes were provided annually.
For the provision of fresh prepared dishes such as potato salad and pasta salad, there was a challenge with ingredient labeling because some toppings might differ from products provided to supermarkets. However, by standardizing the ingredients provided and creating a unique ingredient list, the company achieved visualization of ingredient labeling.
