Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS)

JAS Certification ensures the quality of the products; products are determined JAS organic by a variety of certified third-party producers, manufacturers, distributors, or importers. The JAS organic seal ensures food safety with the highest Japanese certification standards, giving consumers confidence.
