Valuing Customer Feedback

We strive to be the company that holds gratitude for our customers close to our heart while remaining to be a customer-supported company. In order to achieve this, we appreciate our communication with customers and strive to provide easily understandable explanations in response to customer inquiries about health and nutrition, safety and security, and other aspects of our products and services. We also reflect customer feedback in the development and improvement of products and services in our efforts to increase customer satisfaction and confidence.

Initiatives at the Customer Service Center

At Kagome, we have set up a dedicated Customer Service Center to respond to questions and inquiries from customers by telephone and online. We promptly share all questions and inquiries internally with the relevant departments, and reflect them in product development and other tasks. We also launched an official Twitter account for the Customer Service Center in 2015 to solicit opinions and questions from more customers and receive inquiries about our products.

Appropriate and Understandable Labeling

Information on food labels includes health-related information, such as allergen and nutritional ingredient information, as well as information that should be provided to customers, such as food additives used for the product and use or non-use of genetically modified ingredients. We strive to provide such information in an understandable manner to prevent misunderstandings and to comply with laws, including the Food Labeling Act.

Disclosure of Information on Raw Ingredient Origins

We receive many inquiries about the raw ingredients of our products and provide information on the origins of raw ingredients in its major products on our official website.
