Due to incidents of food mislabeling and contamination by foreign substances, customers are taking a more rigorous look at food safety in today's society.
OGINOYA was one of the first companies to become highly aware of this issue decades ago, and has built a thorough hygiene management system based on the concept of "cleanliness," which is the continuation of a beautiful and hygienic environment.
Thorough hygiene control has been passed down from generation to generation since before the HACCP review.
OGINOYA has been introducing sodium hypochlorite, a disinfectant solution that is now common, and ethanol disinfection for about 50 years.
In 2010, the company received Gunma Prefecture Voluntary Hygiene Management Certification for food products, recognizing that its hygiene management based on the HACCP concept is above a certain level.
We have never forgotten that "safety and security" are the key to "deliciousness.
Sterilized with ethanol
After careful hand washing, use ethanol to disinfect even the tips of the fingers.
Careful hand washing
To ensure constant hygiene, hand washing and disinfection is always performed every 30 minutes.
jet air
Jet air is applied to the entire body to remove dust and debris from clothing.
Check heating conditions
Ensure that cooked ingredients and rice are adequately heated and temperature controlled.
Check disinfectant solution
Change disinfectant solution approximately every 2 hours. Check the concentration and replace immediately if there is a smear.
germicidal lamp
Sterilizing lamps that generate ozone are installed throughout the plant. This eliminates odors.
Cleaning of recycling pots

Steam cleaning of lids
Before use, pots and lids are sterilized by steam cleaning at 85°C.
Production line cleaning
At least six times a day. The production line is stopped and carefully cleaned.

Ultraviolet sterilization lights are installed throughout the plant. This reduces the number of bacteria that fall out.
