On March 22nd of this year, there were reports of health hazards related to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.'s red yeast rice ingredient.

In connection with this report, we would like to ask whether or not we use red yeast rice in our products.

We have received many inquiries, so we would like to answer them.

We carry red malt and red malt-derived raw materials, including the "red mold raw material" manufactured by Kobayashi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., which has been reported in the media.

Not used.

We would like to report that our products have no direct connection to the raw materials subject to this recall.

We are currently working to gather information regarding this matter, and will update you if there is any progress. We will continue to pay close attention to quality control.

We appreciate your continued patronage of our products.
