Notice of change of "Sanita-kun" brand to "MC-Media Pad" for sheet medium for Microbial testing

   JNC Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasuyuki Goto) decided to change the product brand name in order to strengthen overseas expansion of sheet media for microbial testing and expand business.

    In recent years, international trade in raw materials, intermediate processed products, and final products in the food industry has become active, and the safety and security of food is receiving more attention than ever. A sheet medium for microbiological tests is used to easily measure the presence or absence of microorganisms hidden in foods and the number of bacteria.

    Against such a market background, we aim to build a globally trusted product brand that supports international trade in the food industry by using unified brand names in countries and regions around the world. "MC-Media Pad" means "Microorganism-Count (measurement) Media (medium) Pad". In terms of sales, we will expand our business beyond Japan, considering alliances with global companies. At the same time, with the aim of improving product reliability, we will work to obtain MicroVal certification, which is an ISO alternative method certification, and work to expand our product lineup to further contribute to food safety and security.
