KANEKA SUN SPICE CO., LTD

The food market demands more depth, more variety, and new flavors. With a variety of product groups designed for the bread, candy, and processed food markets, Kaneka supplies solutions that increase the value of food by combining an array of technologies, including fermentation and oil and fat processing. At Kaneka Sun Spice, every year we import more than 5,000 tons of spices to Japan from around the world. We visit suppliers in every corner of the globe, providing guidance and carrying out quality checks. Our purchasing systems are based on strong relationships, and enable us to carefully select only those ingredients that meet our standards. They use these spices to blend spice mixes, seasonings, and liquid spices according to the requests of our customers. We have also created a dedicated space for the collaborative development and trial manufacture of new products with our customers. At our Quality Control Center, we verify that levels of residual pesticides do not exceed permissible standards, and confirm that radiation sterilization has not taken place. In addition, we work continually to develop and implement the latest analysis techniques to further improve the quality of our products. For the peace of mind of our customers, quality control departments at our plants monitor the quality of our products before they are shipped. We carry out a variety of tests on a daily basis to ensure the reliability of our quality levels. These include sensory evaluations, which rely on human sensory organs such as eyes, tongues, and noses, as well as microbial tests to ensure food safety and hygiene. In 2005, we established KSS Vietnam Co. , Ltd. (KSS Vietnam), a plant in Vietnam, the world’s largest producer of pepper. While the plant is primarily involved in the sorting, sterilization, and grinding of pepper, it processes other spices as well. Our blending plant, which commenced operations in 2020, boasts cutting-edge quality control systems. We have established restricted processing environments for specified allergens, and the plant has been designed to ensure that human and object flow lines for products containing specified allergens are kept separate from products that do not. Before entering processing areas, employees wash their hands, use alcohol disinfectants, and undergo air showers. Using our technological expertise, our sterilization process results in foods that achieve the low bacterial count demanded of our customers, yet retain their innate flavors and aromas. We operate a variety of sterilization equipment, and select the most suitable for each spice according to its unique properties—such as its size, and whether it is in whole or powder form, etc. We also carry out targeted testing on certain products, such as capsaicin tests for chili peppers, and moisture value and pH tests for liquid products. It exchanges information with other producers in Vietnam and around the world, provides guidance, and continually seeks to improve the quality of its products. In addition to utilizing our bases in Vietnam and Shanghai, we also leverage the networks established by the Kaneka Group to respond to the requests of customers from across Asia.
