Japanese Food

Japanese organic vegetables

Hope to be a pioneer of food security and safety

Our customers are pursuing food security, safety and a healthy and happy eating life. In this field, Healthy Express adheres to the pursuit of healthy ingredients and shares diverse food cultures. Following Taiwan's organic agricultural products, it is now launching a series of Japanese organic vegetables. The introduced vegetables and fruits include Hokkaido, Kagoshima, and Aomori Prefecture.

 

We contact importers with local purchasing experience in Hiroshima, Japan, and select some excellent and standard ingredients, such as ingredients that have obtained the Japanese organic certification JAS standard, to provide local consumers with a wider choice of ingredients. Hope to contribute to the security, safety and health of food around the world. Dear friends, I hope that our company's current experience and linking all parties' requirements for food quality will be trusted by consumers and the society.

 

Some of the ingredients come from excellent farms in Japan, including Akikawa Makien (秋川牧園). As the most famous agricultural enterprise in Japan, it has successfully developed many world-leading technologies such as non-medication feeding and all-plant feed 30 years ago. It is a representative model of food security and safety not only in Japan but also in the world.

Are Japanese fruits and vegetables safe?

Occasionally, customers will raise their opinions, are Japanese fruits and vegetables safe? Will there be radiation? Where does the safety of Japanese food come from?

First of all, since the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan has adopted stricter control measures than international standards, and related food risks have been improved by related factors. Returning to science, Japan proposes stricter regulations than international standards for food safety checks, requiring double certificates for risky foods (that is, radiation safety certificates and certificates of origin), and 100% inspection of food in the five prefectures of Fukushima at the border; the goal is to remove obstacles , and international links, with the world.

 

As long as Japan prohibits the circulation of items, they are not allowed to be exported. At present, wild bird and animal meat, mushrooms and boiled rapeseed in the five prefectures of Fukushima are specific risk items and are still prohibited from export. Foods that are currently open for export must be inspected with double certificates, that is, radiation inspection certificates and origin certificates. Aquatic products, mushrooms, teas, dairy products, and baby foods in specific areas, such as tea from Shizuoka Prefecture, all adopt double certificates. certificate management.

 

Not to mention that these fruits come from other parts of Japan, even Fukushima Prefecture in Japan (the local area is rich in peaches, cherries, grapes and apples). Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Chiba, etc.) food import controls. Including Taiwan, more than 40 countries around the world, including CPTPP member countries, have deregulated. Currently, only a few regions, including China and Hong Kong, still have restrictions on agricultural products from Fukushima Prefecture.

 

Hong Kong's import of Japanese fruits and vegetables involves double checks

 

At the export level, the Japanese authorities, which issue radiation certificates and exporter certificates, must ensure that each batch of Japanese food imported into Hong Kong does not come from Fukushima, and certify that the radiation level of the food not only does not exceed the Codex Alimentarius guideline limit, but also does not Exceeds the stricter Japanese limit. At the import level, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) in Hong Kong has been conducting radiation inspections on Japanese food imported into Hong Kong, and will include relevant inspections in the center's annual regular monitoring plan based on risk assessment from January 1, 2021.

What does the "safe and peace of mind" of Japanese food come from?

Known as the world's number one - Japanese food

It must be the government's support, right?

It must be the strength of the enterprise, right?

It must be the contribution of scientists, right?

 

Japan's natural environment is rich in regional and seasonal changes. Taking advantage of these changes, producers have developed a wide variety of vegetables. Japanese vegetables are juicy and have a unique taste. For example, daikon radish in Japan has a lot of water and has a subtle depth of flavor once cooked. Japanese cuisine has been developed by taking full advantage of the various natural flavors of these ingredients.

It is due to the unity and joint efforts of many consumers

You must be surprised, right?

Do you think Japanese food is the healthiest food in the world? There are many reasons why people might think this way. Japan has one of the lowest obesity rates in the world and one of the longest life expectancies in the world. In this article, we explore what makes Japanese food so healthy.

 

Japanese cuisine is one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. Much of this is due to the many vegetables used in traditional dishes. A typical Japanese diet includes a variety of vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, radishes, peppers and spinach. These ingredients are often used in soups, stews, and stir-fries. They can also be eaten raw in salads or as part of healthy sushi rolls.

 

Japanese food is the healthiest in the world for a variety of reasons, and the emphasis on fresh vegetables makes their food safety and care a preferred factor for the safety and quality of Japanese crops.

 

The birth of safe and safe food production and organic agriculture in Japan began around 1971, which is already half a century ago. Since then, it has led Japan to the road to happiness.

 

Japanese food emphasizes fresh ingredients


One of the things that makes Japanese food so special is the emphasis on fresh ingredients. In Japan, it is believed that food should be eaten when it is at its freshest. As a result, many Japanese dishes are prepared with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms.

 

This focus on freshness means that Japanese chefs often use simpler cooking methods to let the ingredients shine. For example, sushi is usually made with only a few simple ingredients, such as fish, rice, and seaweed. The taste of this dish comes from the quality of the ingredients, not from any careful preparation.

Japan is the first country to experience a food crisis in modern history

Japan also had years of uncontrolled use of pesticides, additives, and antibiotics in raising livestock

After Japan's defeat in World War II in 1945, Japan entered a period of rapid revival, followed by the earliest supermarkets in the 1960s. While everyone rejoiced at being relieved from the food crisis, another anxiety about food, mainly among the wise housewives, slowly began to intensify.

 

There is no trace of insect damage, and the vegetables that are too beautiful are incredibly colorful. There are countless colorful candies and drinks, colorful, red fish sausages that will never go bad at room temperature, and so on. At that time, people gradually calmed down from the initial joy of eating these magical foods, and replaced them with growing anxiety and worry about the food.

 

Some smart consumers, mainly housewives, were the first to realize the magic of the food sold on the street, which is chemically synthesized pesticides and additives. After the further escalation of anxiety, how to solve the problem of safety and safety of food, how to cultivate vegetables without using pesticides is difficult to achieve at the same time as there are many and enthusiastic study sessions in Japan... without using What are the difficulties encountered in raising chickens and livestock with antibiotics? Gradually be able to pay the surface of the water. Producers go to great lengths to produce vegetables without using pesticides. Even if the vegetables are full of moths at the beginning, the shape is not good, and the price is slightly expensive, consumers will buy and eat them, and take concrete actions to support the producers. Gradually, consumers united together, encouraged each other and insisted on continuing to consume such products. Later, more and more people participated in the food movement, and the scale became larger and larger.

Who wants to enjoy a can of peach juice from Fukushima?

BBC Chinese reporter Chen Yan

A very good BBC article, it is said that so far no Japanese has died due to Fukushima nuclear radiation, but 2,200 have passed away due to indirect factors such as trauma and stress.

If you don’t read this article, you may not know the attitude of the Japanese to take things seriously. They will disclose the data and accept the participation of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct emissions. Led by officials, including 11 experts from Australia, Canada, China, France, South Korea, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam to jointly supervise. It cannot be said that the discharge of waste water will not have an impact on the environment. We only know that when accidents happen, how should we deal with them. If a problem occurs in other countries, I believe it may not be the case.

Suspicion and fear of Fukushima food, and worries about Japanese food are actually not only aimed at the accident in Fukushima, or Japan. A deeper layer is human's fear of nuclear radiation. Rationally, even a piece of bread or a piece of fruit is safe, but if there are other options, you may not eat it. So this is beyond science.

The discussion in this article is thought-provoking.

Japan Organic Certification - Organic JAS

High-quality vegetables can make people feel safe to eat raw

Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) is an industry standard formulated by the Japanese government for agriculture. These standards are equivalent to Japanese Industrial Standards, but apply to food, agricultural and forest products.

 

The Organic JAS Mark can only be applied by registered business entities accredited by Accredited Certifiers to verify that organic food has been produced in accordance with JAS.


In addition, it is prohibited to sell agricultural products and processed foods labeled with the name of "organic food" such as "organic" and "Organic" without the organic JAS mark.

More thinking on Food Safety and Health

Foods are the main cause of cancer

Today, the frequent occurrence of cancer has become a major problem worldwide.

 

Cancer, although part of the cause is caused by bacteria or viruses. However, many opinions at the present stage believe that the main cause of the frequent occurrence of cancer is due to the close relationship between the chemical synthesis and use of pesticides and additives in large quantities around the world with the advancement of modernization about 60 years ago. Because of the relatively long lifespan of human beings, the incubation period of cancer is considered to be as long as 20 to 40 years.

A Conclusion

Japan's experience in food safety can be used for our reference and application

We sincerely hope that the experience and technology related to food safety summarized and accumulated by Japan can be used for reference and application in the world as soon as possible.

 

With the improvement of consumers' safety awareness, we hope that consumers in Hong Kong and all over the world can share and taste the happiness brought by health!
