Quality Control System

Quality Control System

 

At the Hitachinaka factory, we use good quality raw materials and carry out thorough hygiene control in all the processes using inspection machines, so as to deliver safe and secure products to our customers.

Raw materials

We use first-grade raw materials from Japan and Africa (Morocco, Mauritania) , China.

Thorough Hygiene Management

When entering the factory, workers need to change to a special uniform to prevent body hair from falling in the locker room. In addition, workers need to follow the steps such as adhesive roller hanging, hand washing, air drying, alcohol disinfection and shoe cleaning before they enter the factory. Workers, both males and females, cannot go outside the toilet unless they have disinfected their hands with alcohol.

Quality check based on inspection equipment

We conduct quality checks using inspection equipment such as quality control cameras and metal detectors.

 

Making Healthy Products

Our products are thawed in the salt water which is close to PH of sea water, so the original flavor of octopus will be competently kept.

 

In addition, twice boiling (secondary boil type) is a unique method of our company. By using this method, food additives will be cut (75% compared to our company), the taste of octopus will be less salty and salt is also be reduced.

Environmental Considerations

(1) Drainage processing

It has been mentioned that our products will hold down the use of food additives by our own manufacturing method, and it has a good influence on wastewater as well. Moreover, our company is equipped with wastewater purification treatment facility utilizing biomass. The factory has sufficient capacity for production amount of 300 tons per day, and there is no worry of draining waste water directly to the sea.

(2) Garbage Reduction

We will process the feet of octopus without waste into other products. It will not only reduce costs but also reduce the amounts of garbage. In addition, food waste will be stored frozen temporarily so that it will not go rot, and it will be used for the research of organic fertilizer and expected to contribute to the reduction of garbage.

Consideration for Workers

Our factory adopts positive pressure air conditioning system so it can help on prevention of the invasion of insects and dirty air, prevention of dew condensation, stability of room temperature and reduction of electricity cost. It’s not only good for products and environment, it is but also friendly to human body because of fresh air is always be provided to people who are working in the factory. Moreover, the production system is highly automated, and the burden on the body of the worker will be greatly alleviated.
