－ Using Organic JAS-certified Confiture －

KANEKA CORPORATION
September 7, 2023
Kaneka Corporation (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President: Minoru Tanaka) will launch a new individual-serving type of "Pur Natur™ Organic Yogurt," an organic JAS-certified*1 product launched in March of this year, on October 2. The new product will be sold through Kaneka Foods Corporation (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President: Futoshi Fukuzaki), a group company of Kaneka Corporation, at organic specialty stores, supermarkets, home-delivery services, and the Kaneka Online Shop*2.

The new individual-serving type also includes a two-layered yogurt with blueberry confiture*3 in addition to the plain yogurt. Not only the yogurt but also the confiture is JAS-certified organic. The combination of the refreshing sourness of the yogurt and the slightly sweet taste of the blueberries has been realized in an organic form.

The organic yogurt is made from raw milk produced by Betsukai Wellness Farm*4 (Betsukai-cho, Notsuke-gun, Hokkaido) *5, a dedicated organic farm. It is characterized by the rich flavor of organic raw milk from healthy cows raised on the fertile land as well as the richness and smooth texture by virtue of two-stage fermentation using the traditional method of Pur Natur of Belgium.

Based on our mission of “Kaneka thinks Wellness First”, we will expand our yogurt product lineup utilizing our distinctive and original probiotics, and will strive to develop and promote more organic dairy products to further contribute to our customers' health and rich dietary lives in the future.
