Manufacturing

Obtained certification for management systems related to quality and food safety

J-OIL MILLS has obtained ISO9001 certification (quality) and ISO22000 certification (food safety), which are international standards for management systems related to quality and food safety, at all of its production sites.
We manufacture our products under a thorough quality control system in order to create safe and reliable products.
In addition, the scope of ISO 9001 certification has been expanded beyond the production department to include business (marketing, etc.), R&D, and corporate departments, and all employees are working together to improve and enhance our operations, from product planning and design to the manufacturing process, quality inspection, inventory management, transportation and delivery, and the administrative departments that support these.
Our business (marketing, etc.), R&D, and corporate divisions obtained ISO 9001 certification in May 2019, and in February 2024, we unified our ISO 9001 certification with the production division.

Initiatives to prevent foreign matter contamination

We take various initiatives in the manufacturing area to prevent foreign matter from entering our products.
