On July 15, 2021, we have received a report from a registered auditing company of the Japan Food Safety Management Association (JFSM) that an image of a certificate has been posted on the web page of Chitose-Hamari Pharmaceutical Co. The web page has been closed immediately. The web page was immediately closed, but as of July 15, 2012, the Society has confirmed that Chitose-Hamari Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. is not registered under the JFS-B Standard.

In response to this incident, JFSM held discussions with the company in order to maintain confidence in the JFS standards, the food safety management system operated by the Society, and on July 20, the cause of the incident and measures to prevent recurrence were announced on the website of Hamari Pharmaceutical Industry Co. (See: "[Apology]"). (See: "[Apology] Regarding the use of images of other companies' certificates on a dedicated website in the food field")

In order to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future, we will work together with our partners to maintain and improve the reliability of JFS standards, and would appreciate your understanding in this matter.
