Prima Meat Packers has its own research institute, the "R&D Center."
We conduct research and development in the field of meat and meat processing, provide technical support within the Group, and engage in research activities that contribute to society.
The purpose and vision of R&D Center
R&D Center works on research in the four main areas of "great taste," "safety and security," "health" and the "environment" based on Prima Meat Packers' management philosophy.
Moreover, we provide technical support related to the development, production, sales and quality assurance of the products of the Prima Meat Packers Group, and also carry out research that leads to social contributions.
Great taste
- We not only grasp the taste of food with sensory evaluation, but use various analytical equipment to clarify taste comprehensively and scientifically. This research is applied to activities aimed at product development and the improvement of quality, and contributes to providing better diets.
Safety and security
- We are contributing to the provision of safe and secure food through research related to quality, such as the development of technology that controls bacteria responsible for food poisoning and spoilage-causing microorganisms.
Health
- We are implementing surveys and research for the clarification of the health functionality of food and product development considerate of health. In addition, we are also developing technology aimed at the reduction of additives.
The environment
- We are implementing research and development aimed at the reduction of our environmental burden, including the reduction of food loss, carbon neutrality and environmental protection using microorganisms.
