About Japan Chlorophyll Co., Ltd.

As a food coloring research company dedicated to creating excitement around foods,
we provide naturally derived pigments and ingredients
and support our customers' food development.

Strengths of Japan Chlorophyll

We deliver excitement around foods to the society
by thoroughly following customer needs through three approaches:
product lineup, responsive service, and quality control.

Product lineup

A range of niche products
rarely seen in other companies

In our company, we have very niche products such as chlorophyll, squid ink, saffron, and butterfly pea that are rarely found in other companies.
Those products, even if niche, are versatile and are actually used in many products familiar to you that you might not expect.
We will be committed to pursue niche products, as consumer needs become more and more sophisticated and diverse.

Responsive service

Flexible responses to your product development and improvement needs,
requests for short delivery time, small lots, etc.

Taking advantage of our ability to fine-tune our services due to our compact company size, we are able to respond flexibly and quickly to various customer requests for product improvements, new product development, delivery time, delivery lots, and so on.
Items in stock can be shipped on the same day if you order by the morning, and depending on the product, you can order from a small quantity of 100 g. Many customers appreciate our responsive services and repeat purchases. Please feel free to contact us.

Quality control

Delivering safe and secure products
through thorough quality control

By providing customers with high-quality, safe and secure products, our company aims to be a trusted company that contributes to people’s health and development of the society. For this reason, building upon compliance with the industry standard of Food Additive GMP, we acquired FSSC 22000 for Food Safety Management Systems.
also acquired Halal certification to respect religious diversity, so that people around the world can use our products with confidence. We will remain dedicated to improve our product qualities.

We also undertake OEM and contract manufacturing.

Japan Chlorophyll takes advantage of its manufacturing technology and quality control know-how cultivated over many years to offer OEM/contract manufacturing services. Based on the mottos of quick response, flexibility to deal with small lots, and high quality, we work with our customers to their satisfaction, from development of products that meet their needs to sample prototypes, manufacturing, and specification of quality control items.

Feature products

Since its foundation in 1951, our company has been committed to use of naturally derived ingredients,
and has a wide variety of natural food pigments, including chlorophyll and gardenia yellow,
