Morinaga Milk Industry Promotes Health Management Utilizing "Kenko Support Nutritionist" Health Seminar Business, Certified as "Excellent Food Education Practice Corporation" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries

Morinaga Milk Industry is pleased to announce that it has been certified as an "Excellent Food Education Practice Corporation" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The "Excellent Food Education Practice Corporation Award System" was newly established in fiscal year 2025 with the aim of recognizing and certifying companies and organizations that are making particularly outstanding efforts in promoting food education, and to spread and promote food education activities among their own employees. Our company has received this certification in the first year of the system. Under the corporate slogan "For a sparkling smile," our group has been committed to providing value centered on "food and well-being," based on technology derived from dairy products and research on nutrition and health. Our important mission as a company is to support the physical and mental health of people through food and contribute to the realization of a society where people can continue to live better lives in the future. Based on this philosophy, in addition to food education activities such as outreach classes for elementary and junior high school students and factory tours, we are promoting health support in cooperation with companies and local governments. Among these, the "Kenko Support Nutritionist" health seminar business, which started in 2021, is one of the core initiatives in Morinaga Milk Industry's food education business. Furthermore, not limited to external food education activities, driven by our responsibility as a company involved in people's health, we are also focusing on the health promotion of our own employees. Initiatives inside and outside the company, such as health seminars for employees by Kenko Support Nutritionist and information dissemination and practical support regarding gut health, led to this certification. Moving forward, by utilizing our knowledge and strengths in food and health, we will continue to develop and expand our food education and health promotion initiatives both internally and externally, thereby contributing to the healthy lives of all generations and the realization of a sustainable society.
