Commitment to Quality

At manma, we understand that vegetables grown in the ever-changing natural environment-shaped by soil and weather-can vary in taste and texture each year. If the vegetables we receive are firmer than usual, we carefully adjust the cooking process to achieve the perfect tenderness, ensuring consistent, high-quality flavor. This meticulous approach is possible thanks to our dedicated in-house factory, designed exclusively for manma. Additionally, as a specialized facility, we guarantee zero risk of cross-contamination from the 8 major allergens, delivering peace of mind with every product.

Baby Food-designated Factory
Creating products for babies is a responsibility we take seriously. We continuously upgrade our factory to maintain the best possible environment for baby food production. Our rigorous quality control, supported by third-party oversight, includes additional checks like pinhole inspections, X-ray tests, and metal detection-surpassing industry standards-to ensure the highest quality for your baby's food.

Commitment to Nutrition

As babies grow, their nutritional needs increase. Around 6 months, breast milk or formula alone isn’t enough, and complementary foods help fill the gap. This approach, recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, supplements, not replaces, breast milk or formula. We support your baby’s growth with carefully crafted products to meet their evolving needs.

Expert-Backed Nutrition for Healthy Growth
Breast milk or formula should be complemented, not replaced. For iron and zinc, lean meats and leafy vegetables are great, while dairy and small fish provide calcium. Vitamin D is found in foods like shirasu and salmon, and sunlight helps the body produce it. Infant formula is a convenient way to boost nutrition, fortified with iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamin D to easily mix into baby food for added nourishment.
