Morinaga Milk Industry Promotes Health Management Utilizing "Kenko Support Nutritionist" Health Seminar Program, Certified as "Food Education Practice Excellent Corporation" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries ~Food Education Activities Aimed at Health Promotion for All Generations Recognized~

Morinaga Milk Industry is pleased to announce that it has been certified as a "Food Education Practice Excellent Corporation" by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

The "Food Education Practice Excellent Corporation Award System" was newly established in fiscal year 2025 with the aim of recognizing and certifying companies and organizations that have made particularly outstanding efforts in promoting food education, specifically to spread and promote food education activities among their own employees. Our company has been certified in the first year of this system.

Under the corporate slogan "For Your Sparkling Smile," our group has been committed to providing value centered on "Food and Well-being," based on dairy-derived technologies and research related to nutrition and health. We consider it an important corporate mission to support people's physical and mental health 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 promotion support in collaboration with companies and local governments. Among these, the "Kenko Support Nutritionist" health seminar program, launched in 2021, is one of Morinaga Milk Industry's core initiatives in its food education business.

Furthermore, not limited to external food education activities, we are also focusing on the health promotion of our own employees, stemming from our responsibility as a company involved in people's health. Initiatives both inside and outside the company, such as conducting health seminars for employees by Kenko Support Nutritionists and providing information and practical support related to gut health, led to this certification.

Moving forward, we will continue to leverage our knowledge and strengths in food and health, and by continuing and developing our food education and health promotion initiatives both internally and externally, we will contribute to the healthy lives of all generations and the realization of a sustainable society.
