FOOD SANITATION

Food hygiene consulting

Japanese consumers have extremely strict standards for food safety, and establishing a hygiene management system is an important lifeline for food companies. It is no exaggeration to say that hygiene management is the pillar of business. As your partner, Bunshi Japan will help you create the value of "trust" with our unique total food hygiene management system.

We offer comprehensive proposals for constructing safety systems, starting from factory design.

The construction of a safety system begins from the construction stage of a new factory. We offer comprehensive proposals, such as creating a basic design that takes advantage of the characteristics of the surrounding environment and climate, and creating a work process diagram that improves productivity by improving the flow of employees and the work environment.

We have professionals who can identify the root cause of the problem and solve it.

Even minor problems can lead to major accidents later on. Our professionals have extensive knowledge, experience, skills and achievements in food hygiene management and will solve the problem quickly based on various cases.

We also support the introduction of HACCP and ISO22000 certification.

Professionals with extensive knowledge and qualifications as assistant judges will support companies aiming to obtain certification for global food safety standards such as HACCP and ISO22000. They will visualize improvement points that cannot be found within the company from a professional perspective.

▶ PCO (Pest Control Operator) work

We carry out, supervise and propose pest control work for a wide variety of pests.

With the changing social situation, the needs of the times, the growing public recognition and the improvement of technical capabilities, PCO has gradually expanded from its initial work focusing on sanitary animals to fields requiring advanced knowledge and skills. Thorough pest control is essential to maintain a clean and safe hygienic environment for food. Our company employs professionals with qualifications such as pest control supervisors and Sentricon Technical Masters. Utilizing their skills and knowledge, we propose an environmentally friendly and optimal comprehensive pest control system.

What will be required of Japanese PCOs in the future?

The future of Japan
What is expected of a PCO?

▷ Improved control techniques

Integrated pest control techniques, including the use of minimal chemicals and environmental control, etc. Deeper research into the physiology and ecology of target pests, and the reactions and behavior of organisms to chemicals and application methods.

▷ Establishment of technologies and PCO organization in response to social and environmental issues and the needs of the times

Establishment of comprehensive pest control techniques that include HACCP methods and concepts.

IPM that is considerate of both people and the environment
(Integrated Pest Management)

Various methods are used to control pests. While "scientific measures" that use chemicals to exterminate pests are fast-acting, they also pose the risk of chemical contamination and increased environmental impact, affecting the safety of people and food. Therefore, we use our specialized knowledge and know-how to implement IPM, which combines the time-consuming concept of IPM with "environmental measures" that improve the environment to make it difficult for pests such as vermin and mice to live.

Bunshi Japan applies food hygiene management to all circles in accordance with global standards. From general hygiene management to support for obtaining ISO9001-HACCP and ISO22000 certification, we will make proposals that match your company's type.

As a pioneer in food hygiene management, we utilize our accumulated know-how in a variety of situations.

In 1996, when we started developing our environmental hygiene business, food hygiene management was left to the efforts of each company. However, now that many problems have surfaced, such as the BSE issue and the beef fraud scandal, consumers are demanding a more advanced management system. We offer the accumulated know-how of Bunshi Japan to help you turn your company's current system into a more advanced system.

We would like to introduce three points that we value when conducting hygiene management education, and our unique hygiene management education process.

POINT ❶

We educate our employees that hygiene management is an important "product" of our company.

POINT ❷

We provide education to clarify the difference between cleanliness and hygiene.

▶ HACCP

If you have any problems regarding HACCP, please leave it to Bunshi Japan!

Bunshi Japan has undergone training in HACCP and sanitation, and is certified as a HACCP consultant, and provides support for HACCP and sanitation in food factories, supermarkets, and the restaurant industry. Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns about hygiene management. *ISO9001-HACCP certification is provided by JQA.

ISO9001-HACCP is the basis. All our services are based on that know-how.

Support for obtaining ISO-HACCP certification

An ideal "total food hygiene management system" that responds to consumer demand

By combining HACCP's excellent system for establishing mechanisms for ensuring food safety with ISO9001's operational guidelines and regulations for management involvement, which are essential for maintaining the system, we can integrate food hygiene management into company-wide management activities, take a comprehensive approach to food quality, and achieve comprehensive results.

HACCP is an excellent system for building a mechanism for ensuring food safety. ISO9001 also has a system that compensates for the weaknesses of HACCP. By integrating food hygiene management into company-wide management activities, it is possible to take a comprehensive approach to quality, including food safety, palatability, legality, quality preservation, convenience, and product acceptability, and achieve comprehensive results.

The ISO9001-HACCP inspection standard is based on the Codex guidelines, which are the international guidelines for HACCP. Specifically, the HACCP system is constructed according to the 12 steps of the Codex, and the basis is clarified. It consists of two stages: a document inspection to ask whether the hygiene management procedures of the "HACCP plan" have been created, and a HACCP on-site inspection conducted at the same time as the ISO9001 inspection. In addition, follow-up inspections based on ISO9001 are conducted periodically to inspect the maintenance status and effectiveness of HACCP. This ensures that the merits of HACCP are maintained and the system is further improved.

Currently, in Japan, there is a HACCP certification system called "Comprehensive Sanitation Management Manufacturing Process" in the Food Sanitation Act, and certification is implemented for six items: milk, dairy products, meat products, container-packaged, pressurized and heated sterilized foods, fish paste products, and soft drinks. However, the scope of the inspection is strictly defined and limited. In contrast, ISO9001-HACCP covers all food-related organizations, and a wide range of organizations can take the inspection, including not only food manufacturers, but also agricultural product processing companies, companies involved in food transportation and distribution, and the food service industry such as restaurants.

About traceability

ISO has requirements regarding traceability, and records must be kept to clarify the history of the product and the raw materials used in the product. In order to achieve traceability, it is also necessary to identify the product or raw materials, identify the inspection status, and make it possible to trace the cause when a problem occurs.
