FoodEx Japan

FoodEx Japan is a standardized classification system developed by the Japanese government to organize and categorize various food products. It assigns unique codes to different types of food, ingredients, and related items, making it easier to collect, analyze, and share data across food safety, trade, and regulatory activities. This system enhances consistency and efficiency in managing food information, supporting food safety measures, regulatory compliance, and international food trade efforts. Essentially, FoodEx Japan acts as a detailed, organized inventory that helps authorities and industry stakeholders track and monitor food products systematically.
