This initiative uses "Euglena from Ishigaki" produced and sold by Euglena Co., Ltd. to develop and sell products in collaboration with food manufacturers such as Kagome. As the first step, 9 products from 8 companies are being developed. It is said that this is the first time that multiple items of euglena-containing foods have been rolled out nationwide.
Kagome "Ishigaki Island's Blessing 15 Vegetables with Euglena" is Japan's first vegetable drink with euglena. Calbee's vegetable snack "Ishigakijima's blessing euglena-containing veggie-eating green vegetables" and Bourbon's cracker "Ishigakijima's blessing euglena-containing cracker" are also Japan's first products, both of which are Ito-Yokado originals.
In addition, various items of euglena-containing products such as Nagatanien's instant miso soup "Euglena miso soup" and RIKEN vitamin "Euglena-containing wakame soup" are collected.
Ito-Yokado and Euglena want to continue product development and sales with the cooperation of other manufacturers.
