Kao withdraws 'healthy' food labeling
from Econa products
花王グループ
Kao Corporation said Thursday it has stopped labeling its Econa line of cooking oils and dressings as ''healthy'' and ''functional'' due to concerns that an ingredient could metabolize into a carcinogen, as the Consumer Affairs Agency said earlier in the day it will start procedures to revoke government authorization for the labeling.
On Thursday, Kao submitted an application to withdraw authorization for the labeling to a public health center and it was accepted. If the government had withdrawn authorization, Kao would have been the first company stripped of such authorization since the health food labeling scheme was established in 1991. But the government halted the process to revoke authorization following Kao’s voluntary action.
"We will establish the measures to our diacylglycerol oil processing that will reduce the level of glycidol fatty acid esters to similar levels found in most common cooking and salad oils."
