Quality & Safety
- Safe and Reliable Products
-
People love Sapporo Ichiban because of our reputation for safety and reliability. Sanyo Foods implements top-notch inspections throughout the production process and starting with raw materials.
- Choosing Reliable Ingredients
-
We strive to ensure quality and safety at all levels of production. To this end, we developed a raw material acceptance system and a production inspection process that each ingredient and product must go through before hitting shelves. We also strictly comply with all laws and regulations so our customers can always feel confident when putting Sapporo Ichiban on the table.
Ingredients
- Consumer Confidence: Our Top Priority
-
Our company’s safety standards prioritize consumer confidence. The first step in this process is carefully screening raw materials. Sanyo Foods meticulously analyzes all materials before they are delivered to our plant. We check for trans fat, allergens, etc. and ensure that we only obtain perfectly safe ingredients.
- Displaying Food Allergies
-
Based on thorough information from our raw material manufacturers, we list the exact contents on our packaging. We clearly display food allergy warnings for fish, shellfish, tree nuts and peanuts in accordance with FDA regulations.
- Raw Material Acceptance
-
Prior to accepting any raw materials, we process samples and conduct a thorough quality analysis. We retest to make sure that all materials meet applicable criteria. We regularly test all of our raw materials to ensure that any changes are immediately detected.
Production
- Safety is guaranteed through state-of-the-art facilities and human checks
-
At each Sanyo Foods factory, highly automated manufacturing lines are operated under total computer control. A variety of inspection and checking equipment is installed at each part of the production process to guarantee safety.
At the same time, employees are fully utilized to supplement the performance of our machines. Products are sampled multiple times a day for quality assurance. The contents and packing are also overseen by our well-trained employees. These advanced automated inspections coupled with human testing are our way of ensuring that consumers can rely on the safety and excellence of our products.
- Product Inspection
-
Using X-rays and other technology on the production line, we are able to weigh and inspect products for metal and foreign objects. Workers also conduct visual inspections. Moreover, we undertake sensory testing and analysis to ensure safety and quality.
- Traceability
-
Through the use of expirations dates and manufacturer plant ID codes, we can identify which factory our raw materials came from and when they were produced.
