HOW
WE MANAGE
CJ CheilJedang uses healthier ingredients to deliver safe and reassuring
products to customers and promotes
consumer’s health through the operation of a systematic and integrated food
safety system. Furthermore, we
constantly ask ourselves the following questions: How can we provide sufficient
nutrients through only processed
foods? What should we consider first at the raw material procurement stage to
contribute to delivering healthy
finished products? How can we implement our stringent integrated food safety
system globally? In searching for
the answers, we have found ways to offer healthier and safer products. Going
forward, CJ CheilJedang will
continue our endeavors to create safe and healthy products and deliver them to
you from nature.
2020 KEY
FACTS &
FIGURES
Developing Differentiated Products that
Take into Account Health and Nutrition
Establishment of systematic Nutrition Guidelines
Establishment of the CJ Nutrition Criteria
To help improve the dietary habits of consumers by providing
healthy processed foods, CJ CheilJedang established the CJ
Nutrition Criteria a set of nutritional standards for each product
category. The CJ Nutrition Criteria identified major categories from
our product portfolio and established the upper limit for energy
(calories) and the five nutrients (fat, saturated fat, trans fat, sugar,
and sodium), of which excessive consumption may damage health.
We will not only continuously assess the nutritional quality of our
products based on these guidelines, but we also use them for
designing nutritional structures when developing new products
for the future. Furthermore, we intend to establish and implement
a strategy for improving the nutritional quality of products and
thereby contribute to consumer health. We remain committed to
fulfilling our social responsibility.
Operation of the KNS-Affiliated External
Advisory Committee
CJ CheilJedang has established and is operating its External Advisory
Committee in affiliation with the KNS (The Korean Nutrition Society)
as a means of securing the fair nutrition criteria and policies that
the company is striving to define. KNS is a domestic organization
with reliable authority in nutritional science. The External Advisory
Committee began operation in 2019. The committee annually selects
meeting agendas and hosts three regular meetings as well as lower-
level meetings for specific areas. CJ CheilJedang strives to collect
various opinions from external experts in the establishment and
operation of its health and nutritional strategies. Through this effort,
we aim to ensure objectivity and build consumer trust.
Launch of THE BIBIGO,
a Healthy HMR Brand
CJ CheilJedang launched twelve new products under the bibigo, a
new HMR brand, based on our unmatched R&D competitiveness and
business specialty. The bibigo is a healthy HMR brand based on our
R&D competency that adds advanced health and nutritional value
to conventional HMR (home meal replacement) products through
enhanced nutritional balance, excellent flavors, and the texture of
natural ingredients. Furthermore, we provide meal suggestions using
our the bibigo products to help customers create completely balanced
meals for healthy lifestyles. We will keep on expanding the product
portfolio of the bibigo, and delivering accurate health and nutritional
information to our consumers to support their healthy lifestyles.
Development of healthy products based on our differentiated fermentation capabilities
Plant-Derived Fermented Flavor Enhancer TasteNrich®
TasteNrich®, a differentiated future-oriented flavor enhancer, is based on 60 years of
experience of CJ BIO research in fermentation technology
and its R&D capabilities. Using only plant-derived ingre-dients through a fermentation
process with no additives or chemical treatments,
asteNrich® meets the “Clean Label*” requirements. Also, processed foods using
TasteNrich® can be certified as “Clean Label Foods”. More
than 100 companies from 31 countries, such as large spice sauce companies and food
companies in North America, are using TasteNrich®. For
domestic products, it is used in SPAM Mild, which has 25% less sodium content than the
original product, and several bibigo products. bibigo
products.
* Clean Label: Used to indicate foods or ingredients with characteristics such as no artificial additives, minimal processing, and non-GMO, Allegens-free,natural ingredients, etc.
FlavorNrich™ Master C, the World’s First
Natural Cysteine Produced without Electrolysis
FlavorNrich™ Master C, the frst Natural Cysteine Produced without
Electrolysis FlavorNrichTM Master C is the world’s first natural
cysteine for vegans, and meets the growing natural trend in
the food industry. Cysteine is a functional amino acid with anti-
oxidation, detoxing, and skin-regen-erating effects. It is widely
used in functional foods, pharmaceutical ingredients, additives for
animal feeds, and as part of ingredients that add meat flavor. While
most companies that produce cyste-ine extract it from animal fur or
Electrolysis technology, CJ CheilJedang is the only company that
successfully manufactures 3rd-generation cysteine using a microbe
fermentation method.
BIOTECTOR, the Feed Additive that
Eliminates Harmful Bacteria in Livestock
BIOTECTOR is the world’s first bacteriophage cocktail feed additive
that helps remove harmful bacteria from the digestive systems of
livestock. It prevents contamination and infection from Salmonella
, thereby controlling livestock disease and fostering the healthy
and safe growth of animals. We have improved the product to provide
more powerful prevention against bacterial diseases, and through
continuing R&D, replace antibiotics and reduce infection of
diseases.
A feed enzyme that promotes
livestock nutrition
Feed enzymes enhance the digestibility of livestock and benefits
to growth. Owing to increased meat consumption and increased
demand for feed, feed enzymes are in the spotlight not only for
their usefulness in improving livestock health but also for their
potential for production costs. CJ CheilJedang acquired Youtell in
2019 and grafted CJ know-how in bacterial strains and process and
fermentation technology with Youtell’s enzyme technology.
To strengthen our competitiveness for future enzyme products, and
expand our sales into APAC and other target regions. We are actively
researching on product improvement and formulation.

Enhancement of the Food Safety Management System
Systematization of the CJ Global Quality and Safety System
