Initiatives for Dietary Education

We supplement children's education through dietary education support.

We run dietary education programs as part of our mission to contribute to food culture and society through great taste and excitement.

Message from the Dietary Education Support Office

We hope that many children will deepen their interest in food.
We hope that they enjoy food without wasting any.
These programs were created with such desires in mind. Prima Meat Packers Group supports and respects United Nations and International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions concerning the rights of children, and supports children’s healthy growth and right to learn through dietary education activities.
For this dietary education support project, we have prepared three programs: “Let’s Eat Breakfast,” “The Secrets of Preserved Foods,” and “Let’s Take a Peek in the Refrigerator.” We invite you to make use of them in your school classes.
