Japan's Foods with Function Claims (FFC) market continues to expand, supported by the nation's ageing population and growing consumer focus on preventive health. However, the sector has also faced intensified public and regulatory attention following the "red yeast rice" incident, which led to several reported health damages and triggered a nationwide review of the FFC framework. In response, the CAA is reinforcing requirements on post-market monitoring, risk communication, and labelling transparency to restore consumer confidence and strengthen industry accountability.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of Japan's FFC system. Participants will learn about the system's legal foundation, notification procedures, scientific substantiation requirements, and post-market responsibilities. Practical compliance tips and recent regulatory updates will also be discussed to help enterprises better navigate Japan's evolving health-food landscape.
