Help! How to check the expiration date?

Please be advised that the Japanese dating system is yyyy/mm/dd. So, if it says 2023/7/25 or 23/7/25, it means 25 July 2023.

We provide the following info in English:

  • Snack Intro
  • Ingredient, Allergen
  • Date of halal status checked
  • Extra confirmed info (if any) such as sources of doubtful ingredients, ethanol content, production line status
  • Each item has already been confirmed to be free from CC.
    But to avoid any confusion when you read the packaging– for example, the packaging’s allergen has “gelatine” written on it –we will include “confirmed safe from CC” in the snack description as a friendly reassurance.
