「Regarding hygiene management, our stores hold restaurant business licenses under the Food Sanitation Act, while the Gyoda plant in Gyoda, Saitama Prefecture, holds licenses under the Food Sanitation Act for noodle manufacturing, prepared-food manufacturing, and meat sales. The validity period of business licenses is prescribed under Article 52, Paragraph 3 of the Food Sanitation Act. Licenses may be renewed by completing the prescribed renewal procedures, but if facilities do not comply with the standards stipulated by the Food Sanitation Act, the licenses will not be renewed. The deficiencies must be corrected and the facilities reinspected to confirm compliance with the standards.」
