Co-Ops in Japan to Launch Domestically Made Frozen Foods


Jiji Press English News Service (Japan)
August 4, 2008 - Tokyo--Co-op Net, a network of eight cooperative unions in eastern Japan including Tokyo, said Friday it will launch a line of frozen foods made in Japan with domestically produced ingredients.

The use of domestically produced ingredients such as meat, vegetables and flour is a response to growing concerns over food safety in Japan following a food-poisoning scare involving Chinese- made frozen dumplings.

The packaging will clearly show where in Japan the products and their ingredients are made.

The eight new products will be available to co-op member customers via home delivery from Aug. 11.
