In order to provide products that satisfy our customers, we at Kamada Soy Sauce have obtained ISO 9001 certification, an international quality standard that covers all processes from design and development to manufacturing and sales.
Date of certification: March 1, 2002
Certifying body: Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA)
Certified facilities: Honmachi Factory, Minato Factory
ISO 9001 is an international standard devised by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for “quality management systems,” or, put another way, “company-wide work practices.”
ISO 9001-certified companies are those companies that have been internationally recognized for their effective operation of quality management systems and continuous improvement of customer satisfaction.
At our factories producing paper carton products, we have acquired HACCP certification by third-party assessment. We continue to improve on our food safety.
Date of certification:
March 11, 2019 (Honmachi Factory)
February 7, 2008 (Minato Factory)

HACCP is an acronym for “Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point.”
It is a system for scientific analyzation and predicting biological, chemical, and physical hazards that may be present in food beforehand. The system constantly controls and records the processes by which they can be eliminated (or reduced to a safe level), in all steps, from receipt of raw materials to manufacturing and shipping.
We are constantly checking for and recording any abnormalities from the receipt of raw materials to the shipping of completed orders. If an abnormality is found, it is promptly removed from the process.
Through a process called “traceability,” we maintain records that allow us to identify raw materials used and products delivered to the customers. We regularly conduct traceability drills to check that records can be quickly retrieved.
As part of our sanitary (food defense) process, we keep all records of entries from employees to visitors to every processing facility. Food defense is the effort to protect food from acts of intentional adulteration or tampering.
We created a manual for hygiene management. As part of that process, we inspect all machinery and equipment regularly. Strict records are kept of each inspection.
Inspections are conducted at each point in the process to ensure quality control.
We have been performing voluntary testing for radioactive materials since March 21, 2012.
For the measuring device, we use a model that meets the performance requirements laid out in MHLW’s “Screening Methods for Radioactive Cesium in Food” (NaI (Tl) scintillation detector). Measurements are taken by inspectors who have passed the Radioactive Material Measurement Proficiency Test.
The measuring device complies with the latest standard (for general foods) as of April 1, 2012.
More than 30 types of domestically produced ingredients, including soy sauce and bonito shavings, are our main raw materials. These are inspected at each incoming lot and each production lot. The final product is also inspected before being packed in containers.
All products made at our factory are inspected at each production lot before packed. If the scintillation detector raises any red flags, it is subjected to a high-precision inspection by a Ge semiconductor detector at an external inspection facility.
Our in-house allowable limit for the final product is 2 becquerels per kilogram, which is just 1/50 of the 100 becquerels per kilogram limit for general foodstuffs set by MHLW. Since its introduction, we have completed measurement on 35,848 samples (as of March 31, 2025); to date, no detection in any of our final products has been observed.
As of April 1, 2024
We strive to gather allergy-related information involving all raw materials used.
We will disclose the information as it becomes available.
