For more than 100 years, Meiji has provided nutrition to Japan and the world based on our philosophy of nourishment of society.
What does nutrition mean at Meiji? This important concept has now been enshrined in the Meiji Nutrition Statement, so that we
can go on contributing for another 100 years.
What is "nourishment of society"?
Nourishment of society is one of the founding philosophies of Meiji, and our contributions to society through food have continued over many generations.
In its early days, Meiji mainly sold confectionery made with sugar—an energy source that was a luxury item—as an aid to nutrition. The phrase "nourishment of society" embodies Meiji's wish to contribute to the healthy physical development of the Japanese people and create a society based on enjoyment.
That's why Meiji products have long been popular with people of all ages from infants to the elderly. As awareness of health grows worldwide, Meiji will work harder than ever before to create novel nutritional value for Japan and the world. To help fulfill this important mission, we established the core concepts of nutrition that connect our corporate principles and each business and brand within the Meiji Group. The result is the Meiji Nutrition Statement.
Meiji continues to ask what we can accomplish through nutrition. This will never change.

Using milk, cocoa, and other natural ingredients, we provide nutrition that supports everyday good health.
