Q3. Is it safe to eat products from Japan after a nuclear power plant accident?

We as a company pride ourselves in taking care of our consumers not only by providing the best products available but safe to eat too. After this crisis occurred in Japan we knew proper measures needed to be taken in order to protect not only ourselves but our consumers from potentially contaminated food.

We work closely with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and they are taking every measure necessary to assure we can offer our customers safe and whole products which have passed all applicable tests and regulations.

For newly arriving products originating from Japan, only products that are deemed acceptable by both the Quality Assurance program implemented by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the policies and directives of the FDA shall be allowed to be distributed by our company.

There are no concerns for imported products that are already in the United States or are in distribution.

The warning statement is required by State of California and is called Proposition 65.
The purpose of Proposition 65 is to notify consumers that they are being exposed to chemicals that are known to cause cancer and/or reproductive toxicity, so that consumers can decide on their own if they want to purchase or use the product.
