Description

  The present invention relates to a food product and a method for providing a food product. Specifically, the present invention relates to a food product that provides a predetermined accessory together with food and a method for providing the food product.

  Traditionally, consumers have been paying attention to the safety of products, especially food, and when consumers select a product, the consumer is concerned about what the product itself and the ingredients of the product are. Shows interest.

  For this reason, the provider of the product writes the information on the product to be provided and the ingredients of the product, the place of origin, the date of manufacture, etc. on a label affixed to the product packaging or records it on an IC tag. Is provided.

  However, it is easy to falsify or counterfeit information simply by providing a product with recorded or recorded information attached to the product, and there is a fact that information is falsified or counterfeited. It was difficult for consumers to select products with peace of mind.

  Therefore, the inventor of the present invention proposes a technique for providing food by attaching a sample of a raw material powder, which is a raw material of the food, to the food, rather than simply attaching information recorded or recorded to the food. (See Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-5656 A

By the way, foods (primary products) are strongly influenced by the soil, fertilizer, feed, seeds, etc. that are actually used in producing the food.
Similarly, foods (secondary products) are strongly influenced by the soil, fertilizer, feed, seeds, etc. that were actually used when producing the raw materials.

  That is, the quality of food is strongly influenced by various factors in the process until it is provided to consumers.

  Therefore, although the raw material powder of food is a factor that can obtain information on the quality of food, it is only one factor, and Patent Document 1 discloses that food samples are provided with food sample attached to food. The described technology alone may not be sufficient to achieve the goal of consumers choosing food with peace of mind.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a food product and a method for providing the food product that allow a consumer to select a food with greater confidence. To do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the food product of the present invention is a predetermined food that is a primary product and an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or the food And a powder of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions, or a processed product of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or It is a powder processed product of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or an alternative grown integrally with an alternative food grown separately from the food under the same conditions as the food It is a portion that is different from the portion corresponding to the food of the mono-growth product, or is a next-generation seed of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or The cost of growing separately from the food under substantially the same conditions It is a seed meal obtained from food, or it is an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food. An appendage body that is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the food of the alternative mono-growth grown integrally with the alternative food, and is configured to be contained with water and provided with the food; and Information that includes information on the meaning and contents of substantially the same conditions, or information that includes information on the meaning and contents of the substantially same conditions that can be accessed via a communication line, and is provided with the food Information.

  In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the food product providing method of the present invention is a substitute food that is a primary product and is grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food. Or a powder of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or a processed product of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food. Yes, or a processed food powder of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or an alternative food grown separately from the food under the same conditions as the food The portion of the alternative integrated growth that has grown together is different from the portion corresponding to the food, or the next generation seed of the alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, Alternatively, the food is substantially the same as the food It is a seed meal obtained from a substitute food grown in the body, or is a substitute food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or the food under substantially the same conditions as the food An appendage body, which is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the food of the alternative integrated growth grown integrally with the alternative food grown separately, is configured to be contained with water and provided with the food It is information that includes information on the meaning and contents of the substantially identical condition, or information that includes information on the meaning and contents of the substantially identical condition that can be accessed via a communication line, and the food. And providing the food information provided together.

  Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, in the method for providing a food product of the present invention, a predetermined food that is a primary product is an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food. Or a powder of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or a processed product of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food. Yes, or a processed food powder of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or an alternative food grown separately from the food under the same conditions as the food The portion of the alternative integrated growth that has grown together is different from the portion corresponding to the food, or the next generation seed of the alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, Alternatively, the food is substantially the same as the food It is a seed meal obtained from a substitute food grown in the body, or is a substitute food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food, or the food under substantially the same conditions as the food An appendage body, which is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the food of the alternative integrated growth grown integrally with the alternative food grown separately, is configured to be contained with water and provided with the food It is information that includes information on the meaning and contents of the substantially identical condition, or information that includes information on the meaning and contents of the substantially identical condition that can be accessed via a communication line, and the food. And providing the food information provided together with the information.

  Here, the accessory allows the consumer to grasp the substance of the growth process of the provided food (primary product).

  Here, “show” means not only to show the actual accessory but also to show a still image or a moving image of the accessory. For example, it includes a case where a catalog on which a photograph of an accessory is posted or a website on which a photograph or video of an accessory is posted.

In addition, when the accessory is configured separately from the food, the consumer can select the food with more peace of mind.
In other words, in order for consumers to select foods with peace of mind, [1] the accessories can be confirmed by visual inspection, and [2] the accessories can be stored as evidence even after the food is consumed. [3] It is very important that accessories can be used for inspection, etc. as necessary. When the accessories are configured separately from food, these are easy to realize and consume. The person can choose food with greater peace of mind.
Note that “separate” means “one by one separated from the other. Everything is separate”, so “attachment is separate from food” means “attachment is separate from food” It means "something".

  By the way, “food” includes “animal food” and “vegetable food”, and “animal food” means “food derived from animals”, for example, meat, fish, Shellfish, eggs, milk, etc. are mentioned, and “plant food” means “food present in the plant body” and includes cereals, straw, beans, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seaweeds and the like.

In addition, “alternative food grown separately from food under the same conditions as food” refers to cattle and pigs grown by eating the same food in the same place, fish harvested in the same sea area at the same time, etc. means. It also means vegetables and fruits grown on the same farm with the same fertilizer.
That is, the “substitute food” means a food that can be identified with the food in grasping the quality.
For example, general farming (agricultural methods using chemical fertilizers and pesticides), organic farming (organic fertilizers and pesticide-free farming methods), natural cultivation (non-fertilizers and pesticide-free farming methods) No. Here, just switching from general cultivation to natural cultivation means that chemical fertilizers and pesticides remain in the soil for about a year after switching, and it cannot be certified as natural cultivation. In addition, after about 3 to 5 years have passed since switching, the food may be certified as a food by natural cultivation. The same applies to organic cultivation.

  Specifically, it can be said that the crop B cultivated by the same producer as the food A at the same time as the food A by the same farming method as the food A is an alternative food for the food A. In addition, “same producers” may include cases where the sub-committees are the same, and “same farming methods” may include cases where fertilizers and pesticides meet certain standards. The term “subcommittee” means “an aggregate of a plurality of producers whose purpose is to ship crops of the same variety as much as possible jointly or in cooperation, although the soil to be planted varies depending on the owner”.

For example, when the food is beef fillet, the fillet portion of another beef that has eaten the same feed on the same beef cattle ranch as the beef corresponds to the “substitute food”. On the other hand, the beef fillet portion of different beef cattle ranches and the beef fillet portion of cattle that are in the same beef cattle ranch but ate different feeds do not fall under “substitute food”. The “different feed” includes a case where one is a feed using a gene recombination technique and the other is a feed not using a gene recombination technique.
For example, when the food is an apple, other apples grown under the same orchard as the apple under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides) fall under “substitute food”. On the other hand, apples in different orchards or apples grown in different orchards under different growth conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides) do not fall under “alternative foods”.

  Examples of the “processed product of alternative foods” include egg-baked eggs, wheat-processed dumplings, rice-processed rice balls, sushi and rice cakes, and fish-processed tempura.

  Furthermore, “the part different from the part corresponding to the food of the alternative integral growth product that is grown together with the alternative food” is a part different from the part corresponding to the part adopted as the food, but is integrated with the alternative food. It means the part that has grown.

For example, if the food is pork loin, the pork loin part of another pig that ate the same feed in the same pig farm as the pig adopted as the food It does not fall under “different parts”. On the other hand, the skin, hands, and feet of other pigs that ate the same feed in the same pig farm as the pigs adopted as food fall under the “parts different from the parts corresponding to the food of the alternative integral growth” .
For example, if the food is an apple, an apple grown under the same orchard as the food used in the same orchard under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizers or pesticides) It does not fall under “parts different from parts”. On the other hand, apple branches and leaves grown in the same orchard as the apple used as food under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides) Corresponds to “different parts”.

In addition, if the accessory is the next generation seed of the alternative food, or if the accessory is a seed pod derived from the alternative food, it can be determined whether the food is a genetically modified food. .
Specifically, for example, consumers can grow crops using appendages, but in the process of cultivating such crops, crops are withered by using pesticides that only genetically modified crops are resistant to. Otherwise, it is a genetically modified food, and if the crop dies, it can be determined that it is not a genetically modified food.

In addition, for example, consumers can grow crops using accessories, but these crops can be placed together with insects in a predetermined space (for example, an insect cage), and the life of the insects can be used for genetically modified foods. It can be determined whether or not there is.
That is, when an insect placed with a crop cultivated using an accessory dies (for example, when an insect dies by eating a leaf, a stem or a branch of the crop), it is a genetically modified food. It is possible to judge that it is not a genetically modified food when the insects placed with the cultivated crop are alive.

  In addition, as other specific grasping methods, for example, (1) general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for appendages, or (2) next-generation crops using appendages It is possible to ascertain whether or not the food is a genetically modified food by performing general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for such crops. Here, when performing general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for accessories, if the amount of accessories to be inspected is not sufficient, add an appropriate amount of seeds and seeds of the same quality as the accessories Food inspection. In addition, it can be confirmed using a general-purpose technique whether the seeds and seeds added to a test object are the same quality as an accessory.

  In addition, since the accessory is the next generation seed of the alternative food or the seed pod obtained from the alternative food, it will be understood whether the alternative food is a genetically modified food. In grasping the quality, since the food and the substitute food can be identified with each other, it is possible to grasp whether or not the food is a genetically modified food.

  In addition, it is only necessary to perform a general genetic modification food inspection (GMO inspection) for food (primary product) to sufficiently determine whether the food is a genetically modified food. As a reminder, it is important to note that a general genetically modified food test (GMO test) for food (primary products) alone may not be sufficient.

  In addition, if the accessory is configured with the accessory body contained in water, the factors that have been affected in the process until the food (primary product) is provided to the consumer, and the food (primary product) You can grasp the actual growth process. In addition, an appendix main body exists in a plant body (hereinafter, it is the same).

  In addition, since water is contained together with the accessory body, the quality of the accessory body can be grasped by the change of the accessory over time (for example, discoloration and smell), and through the quality of the accessory body It becomes possible to grasp the quality of food (primary product).

Further, when the food information includes “information on the meaning content of substantially the same conditions”, the relationship between the food (primary product) and the accessory can be specified. Similarly, the relationship between food (primary product) and an accessory can be specified by including information that can be accessed via a communication line in the “information on the semantic content of substantially the same conditions”.
Note that “information accessible via a communication line” means an identifier such as a two-dimensional barcode.

  Here, in order to grasp the quality of food (primary product), it is important to grasp the quality of the accessories, and therefore the meaning of “substantially the same condition” has a very large meaning. However, “whether or not the conditions are substantially the same” cannot be seen by anyone other than the producer. In this way, it is possible to improve the reliability of food products by showing “information about the meaning and contents of substantially the same conditions” that has not been seen by consumers until now.

  In addition, as "information on meaning contents of substantially the same conditions", for example, producer name, production organization name, field, whether it is a genetically modified food, organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer, no pesticide or no pesticide use Or whether it is a flat feed or gauge, a feed containing genetically modified food, a feed not containing antibiotics and a feed for aquaculture, etc.

By the way, the “substantially identical conditions” of the present invention means conditions under which food producers (primary products) can freely decide on their own will.
For example, when there is only one producer of cabbage that is food (primary product) and there are multiple (for example, five) fields that the producer cultivates, the variety, chemical fertilizer used, or used When the agricultural chemicals and the shipping time are the same, the producer himself may determine that “substantially the same conditions”.
In addition, for example, even if only one of a plurality of fields uses different chemical fertilizers, if the producer himself determines that “substantially the same conditions”, such chemical fertilizers The difference may be within the range of “substantially identical conditions”.
In other words, the “substantially identical conditions” of the present invention means that “even if there are some differences, it is not a difference that will have a significant effect when all of them are considered”. In this case, it is intended to allow handling as “substantially the same conditions”.

In addition, when there are multiple producers of food (primary products), for example, when producing food (primary products) as a subcommittee of Agricultural Cooperatives, in the strict sense, producers of food (primary products) Are not the same. However, considering the meaning of the agricultural cooperative subcommittee that wants to provide food of the same quality (primary product), even if the food (primary product) is produced as a subcommittee of the agricultural cooperative, It may be determined that the condition is satisfied.
In other words, if a producer or the like determines that a group of multiple producers is regarded as a single producer and does not have a significant impact on the whole, it should be treated as “substantially identical conditions”. It is the purpose to admit.
In other words, if the producer determines that it is a slight difference such that the producer differs at the individual level and does not have a significant impact in terms of conveying the quality of the food (primary product) to the consumer, the producer This is to allow a permissible range by such judgment.

  On the other hand, a specific producer (a “specific producer” may be a single producer or a group of multiple producers) may not be able to produce food (primary products) with a particular production method. ), And in such cases, based on whether or not a specific production method (for example, a production method that is particular to pesticide-free fertilizers) is the same, It may be determined whether or not. In general, the points that the producers are particular about often support the quality of food (primary products), and this point can be used as a criterion for determining whether or not the conditions are almost the same. This is one of the features of the invention.

In addition, even if it is the same subcommittee in the same cooperative, the difference of the soil which forms an agricultural field may be clear. For example, producers usually think that the soil is completely different between fields that use chemical fertilizers and herbicides and fields that use only organic fertilizers and no herbicides or pesticides. is there. Therefore, when the farming method is different, if the producer judges that "substantially the same conditions are not allowed", even if the producers of the same subcommittee in the same cooperative, It may be determined that the conditions are not substantially the same.
For example, if the number of times the pesticide is used is 0 for the A group, 1 to 3 times for the B group, and 4 times or more for the C group. is there.

  In the above description, vegetable food is mainly described as an example, but the same applies to animal food.

Here, the accessory will be described with reference to the drawings.
As an accessory, as shown in FIG. 1 (A), an alternative food (indicated by reference numeral 21 in FIG. 1 (A)) that is grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food (primary product), its powder ( 1A), processed food of alternative food (indicated by reference numeral 23 in FIG. 1A), its powder (indicated by reference numeral 24 in FIG. 1A), integrated with the alternative food The part (it shows with the code | symbol 25 in FIG. 1 (A)) different from the said foodstuff of the grown alternative integral growth is mentioned.
As an accessory, as shown in FIG. 1 (B), seeds of alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food (primary product) (indicated by reference numeral 26 in FIG. 1 (B)) And seed potatoes obtained from alternative foods (indicated by reference numeral 27 in FIG. 1B).
In addition, as shown in FIG. 1 (C), as an accessory, the food (primary product) contains the alternative food and water grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions (in FIG. 1 (C)) And an alternative integrated growth product that has grown together with the alternative food and water (indicated by reference numeral 29 in FIG. 1C).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the food (primary product) is a fruit portion indicated by reference numeral 31a, the leaf 32a and the root 33a grown integrally with the reference numeral 31a correspond to the integrally grown product 34a. To do. Moreover, the part of the fruit shown by the code | symbol 31b and 31c is equivalent to the alternative food of the fruit 31a, and the leaf 32b and the root 33b which grew together with the fruit 31b are equivalent to the alternative integrated growth 34b of the fruit 31a. Similarly, the leaves 32c and the roots 33c grown together with the fruit 31c correspond to the alternative integrated growth 34c of the fruit 31a.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the food product of the present invention, the predetermined food as a secondary product and the wooden barrel of the same condition as the wooden barrel involved in the production of the food, or , A lactic acid bacterium under substantially the same conditions as the lactic acid bacteria involved in the production of the food, or an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food, or The powder of the alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material, or the processing of the alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food Or a powder processed product of an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material The cost of growing together with alternative raw materials grown separately It is a part different from the part corresponding to the raw material of the food of the integrally grown product, or a next generation seed of an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food. Alternatively, seed meal obtained from an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material Corresponding to the raw material of the food that is an alternative raw material that is grown separately from the alternative raw material that is grown separately from the raw material of the food that is an alternative raw material that has grown separately or under the same conditions as the raw material of the food An accessory body that is a part different from the part to be received is configured to be housed with water and includes information provided about the meaning content of the substantially same condition as the accessory provided with the food, or The meaning of the substantially same condition Is information including the information accessible via the communication line to the information about the content, and includes a food information provided together with the food.

  Furthermore, in order to achieve the above object, in the method for providing a food product of the present invention, a predetermined food that is a secondary product, and a wooden barrel that has substantially the same conditions as the wooden barrel involved in the production of the food Yes, or a lactic acid bacterium under substantially the same conditions as the lactic acid bacteria involved in the production of the food, or an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or An alternative raw material powder grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or an alternative grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material It is a processed product of the raw material, or is a powder processed product of an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food, or the substantially same condition as the raw material of the food Integrated with alternative ingredients grown separately from food ingredients The portion of the long alternative integrated growth that is different from the portion corresponding to the raw material of the food, or the next generation of the alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food Seeds, or seed meal obtained from an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or of the food under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material. It is an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material, or an alternative integrated growth product of the food that has grown together with an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food. The accessory body, which is a part different from the part corresponding to the raw material, is configured to be housed with water and includes information about the semantic content of the substantially same condition as the accessory provided with the food. Or substantially the same Is information including the information accessible via the communication line to the information on the semantic content of the condition, and includes the step of providing both the food information provided together with the food.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the method for providing a food product of the present invention, a predetermined food that is a secondary product is a piece of wood barrel having substantially the same conditions as the wood barrel involved in the production of the food. Yes, or a lactic acid bacterium under substantially the same conditions as the lactic acid bacteria involved in the production of the food, or an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or An alternative raw material powder grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or an alternative grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material It is a processed product of raw material, or is a powder processed product of an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food, or the substantially same condition as the raw material of the food Integrated with alternative ingredients grown separately from food ingredients The portion of the long alternative integrated growth that is different from the portion corresponding to the raw material of the food, or the next generation of the alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food Seeds, or seed meal obtained from an alternative raw material grown separately from the food raw material under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material, or of the food under substantially the same conditions as the food raw material. It is an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material, or an alternative integrated growth product of the food that has grown together with an alternative raw material grown separately from the raw material of the food under substantially the same conditions as the raw material of the food. The accessory body, which is a part different from the part corresponding to the raw material, is configured to be housed with water and includes information about the semantic content of the substantially same condition as the accessory provided with the food. Or substantially the same Is information including the information accessible via the communication line to the information on the semantic content of the condition, and includes the step of providing to show the food information provided together with the food.

  Here, with the accessory, the consumer can grasp the substance of the production environment of the provided food (secondary product) or the substance of the growth process of the raw material of the provided food (secondary product). I can understand.

  Here, “show” means not only to show the actual accessory but also to show a still image or a moving image of the accessory. For example, it includes a case where a catalog on which a photograph of an accessory is posted or a website on which a photograph or video of an accessory is posted.

In addition, when the accessory is configured separately from the food, the consumer can select the food with more peace of mind.
In other words, in order for consumers to select foods with peace of mind, [1] the accessories can be confirmed by visual inspection, and [2] the accessories can be stored as evidence even after the food is consumed. [3] It is very important that accessories can be used for inspection, etc. as necessary. When the accessories are configured separately from food, these are easy to realize and consume. The person can choose food with greater peace of mind.
Note that “separate” means “one by one separated from the other. Everything is separate”, so “attachment is separate from food” means “attachment is separate from food” It means "something".

  Here, “a wooden barrel that is in substantially the same condition as a wooden barrel involved in food production” refers to what can be identified with each other when grasping the substance of the food production environment. For example, a wooden barrel configured using the same wood and used in the same environment is applicable. On the other hand, a wooden barrel used in different environments or in different environments is not applicable.

In addition, “lactic acid bacteria having substantially the same conditions as the lactic acid bacteria involved in food production” refers to those that can be identified with each other when grasping the substance of the state of the food.
For example, the number of live lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt changes over time, but with the same amount of lactic acid bacteria contained in yogurt (food) as an accessory, The quantity of lactic acid bacteria inside can be grasped. In addition, about the appendix attached to yogurt (foodstuff), it may be a sugar containing live lactic acid bacteria or yogurt.

  By the way, “food ingredients” include “animal ingredients” and “vegetable ingredients”, and “animal ingredients” means “animal-derived ingredients” such as meat, Fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, etc. are mentioned. “Plant raw materials” means “raw materials present in plants”, and examples include cereals, strawberries, beans, vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, seaweeds, etc. .

  In addition, “alternative ingredients grown separately from animal food ingredients under almost the same conditions as animal food ingredients” refers to cattle and pigs grown in the same place and the same period Means fish harvested in the same sea area. In other words, “alternative raw material” means a material that can be identified with a raw material for food in grasping the quality.

  For example, when the animal raw material of food is beef fillet, the portion of the fillet of another cow that has eaten the same feed on the same beef cattle ranch as the beef corresponds to the “alternative material”. On the other hand, the beef fillet portion of different beef cattle ranches and the beef fillet portion of the same beef cattle ranch but with different feeds are not considered to be in the same conditions and environment. Is not applicable. The “different feed” includes a case where one is a feed using a gene recombination technique and the other is a feed not using a gene recombination technique.

  Examples of the “processed product of alternative raw materials” include egg-processed egg-processed eggs, wheat-processed dumplings, rice-processed rice balls, sushi and rice cakes, and fish-processed tempura.

  Furthermore, “the part different from the part corresponding to the animal raw material of the food of the alternative integrated growth product that is grown together with the alternative raw material” means the part corresponding to the part adopted as the animal raw material of the food. Although it is a different part, it means a part that has grown together with alternative raw materials.

  For example, if the raw material of the food is pork loin, the pork loin portion of another pig that ate the same feed in the same pig farm as the raw material of the food, It does not fall under “parts different from the part corresponding to the raw material of the sex”. On the other hand, the skin and hands and feet of other pigs that ate the same feed in the same pig farm as the raw material used for food are “the part corresponding to the animal raw material of the food of the alternative integral growth product” Corresponds to “different parts”.

  In addition, “alternative material grown separately from food plant material under substantially the same conditions as the food plant material” means vegetables and fruits grown on the same farm with the same fertilizer. In other words, “alternative raw material” means a material that can be identified with a raw material for food in grasping the quality.

  Specifically, the crop B cultivated by the same farming method as the food material A at the same time as the food material A by the same producer as the food material A can be said to be an alternative material for the food material A. In addition, “same producers” may include cases where the sub-committees are the same, and “same farming methods” may include cases where fertilizers and pesticides meet certain standards. The term “subcommittee” means “an aggregate of a plurality of producers whose purpose is to ship crops of the same variety as much as possible jointly or in cooperation, although the soil to be planted varies depending on the owner”.

For example, when the vegetable raw material of food is an apple, other apples grown under the same orchard as the apple under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides) fall under “alternative raw materials”. On the other hand, apples in different orchards, apples grown in different orchard conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides), or in different conditions or environments do not fall under “alternative raw materials”.
In addition, food of each farming method such as general cultivation (agricultural method using chemical fertilizer and pesticide), organic cultivation (organic fertilizer and pesticide-free farming method), natural cultivation (non-fertilizer and pesticide-free farming method) No. Here, just switching from general cultivation to natural cultivation means that chemical fertilizers and pesticides remain in the soil for about a year after switching, and it cannot be certified as natural cultivation. In addition, after about 3 to 5 years have passed since switching, the food may be certified as a food by natural cultivation. The same applies to organic cultivation.

  Furthermore, “the portion different from the portion corresponding to the vegetable raw material of the food of the alternative integrated growth product that has grown together with the alternative raw material” is a portion that is different from the portion corresponding to the portion adopted as the raw material of the food. However, it means the part that has grown together with alternative raw materials.

  For example, if the raw material of the food is an apple, an apple grown under the same orchard as the raw material of the food under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizer or pesticide) It does not fall under “parts different from parts corresponding to vegetable ingredients in food”. In contrast, apple branches and leaves grown in the same orchard used as food ingredients under the same growth conditions (with or without fertilizers and pesticides) Corresponds to “a part different from the part corresponding to the raw material”.

In addition, if the accessory is the next generation seed of the alternative raw material, or if the accessory is a seed vase obtained from the alternative raw material, grasp whether the food ingredient uses genetically modified food be able to.
Specifically, for example, consumers can grow crops using appendages, but in the process of cultivating such crops, crops are withered by using pesticides that only genetically modified crops are resistant to. Otherwise, it is a genetically modified food, and if the crop dies, it can be determined that it is not a genetically modified food.

In addition, for example, consumers can grow crops using accessories, but these crops can be placed together with insects in a predetermined space (for example, an insect cage), and the life of the insects can be used for genetically modified foods. It can be determined whether or not there is.
That is, when an insect placed with a crop cultivated using an accessory dies (for example, when an insect dies by eating a leaf, a stem or a branch of the crop), it is a genetically modified food. It is possible to judge that it is not a genetically modified food when the insects placed with the cultivated crop are alive.

  In addition, as other specific grasping methods, for example, (1) general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for appendages, or (2) next-generation crops using appendages It is possible to ascertain whether or not the raw material of the food uses genetically modified food by performing general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for such crops. Here, when performing the genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for the accessory, if the amount of the accessory to be inspected is not sufficient, add the appropriate amount of seeds and seed pods of the same varieties to the food. Perform an inspection. In addition, it can be confirmed using a general-purpose technique whether the seeds and seeds added to a test object are the same quality as an accessory.

  In addition, since the accessory is the next generation seed of the alternative raw material or the seed pod obtained from the alternative raw material, it will be understood whether the alternative raw material is a genetically modified food. In grasping the quality, the raw material of the food and the alternative raw material can be identified, and as a result, it is possible to grasp whether the raw material of the food is a genetically modified food.

  In addition, if a general-purpose genetically modified food test (GMO test) for food (secondary products) is performed, it can be fully understood whether the food ingredient uses genetically modified food. Although it is good, I will add it just in case that due to various circumstances, it may not be able to be confirmed sufficiently only by general-purpose genetically modified food inspection (GMO inspection) for food (secondary products).

  In addition, if the accessory is configured with the accessory body contained in water, the factors that have been affected in the process until the food (secondary product) ingredients are provided to the consumer, It is possible to grasp the substance of the growth process of raw materials of secondary products.

  In addition, since water is contained together with the accessory body, the quality of the accessory body can be grasped by the change of the accessory over time (for example, discoloration and smell), and through the quality of the accessory body It becomes possible to grasp the quality of raw materials for food (secondary products).

Further, when the food information includes “information about the meaning content of substantially the same condition”, the relationship between the raw material of food (secondary product) and the accessory can be specified. Similarly, food information includes information that can be accessed via a communication line in “Information on the semantic content of substantially the same conditions” to identify the relationship between the ingredients of food (secondary products) and accessories. Can do.
Note that “information accessible via a communication line” means an identifier such as a two-dimensional barcode.

  Here, in order to grasp the quality of raw materials of food (secondary products), it is important to grasp the quality of the accessories, and therefore the meaning of “substantially identical conditions” has a very large meaning. However, “whether or not the conditions are substantially the same” is invisible to anyone other than the producer. In this way, it is possible to improve the reliability of food products by showing “information about the meaning and contents of substantially the same conditions” that has not been seen by consumers until now.

  In addition, as "information on meaning contents of substantially the same conditions", for example, producer name, production organization name, field, whether it is a genetically modified food, organic fertilizer or chemical fertilizer, no pesticide or no pesticide use Or whether it is a flat feed or gauge, a feed containing genetically modified food, a feed not containing antibiotics and a feed for aquaculture, etc.

By the way, “substantially the same conditions” in the present invention means conditions under which a producer of raw materials for food (secondary products) can freely decide on their own will.
For example, if there is only one producer of cabbage, which is the raw material for food (secondary products), and there are multiple (for example, five) fields that the producer cultivates, the variety, chemical fertilizer used, If the agricultural chemicals used and the shipping time are the same, the producer himself may determine that “substantially the same conditions”.
In addition, for example, even when only one of a plurality of fields uses different chemical fertilizers, if the producer himself determines that “substantially the same conditions”, such chemical fertilizers The difference may be within the range of “substantially identical conditions”.
In other words, the “substantially identical conditions” of the present invention means that “even if there are some differences, it is not a difference that will have a significant effect when all of them are considered”. In this case, it is intended to allow handling as “substantially the same conditions”.

In addition, when there are multiple producers of food (secondary products), for example, in the case of producing food (secondary products) as a subcommittee of Agricultural Cooperatives, It cannot be said that the producers of the raw materials of secondary products are the same. However, in consideration of the meaning of the agricultural cooperative's subcommittee that wants to provide the same quality food (secondary products) raw materials, the food of the food (secondary products) was produced as the ○ 0 agricultural subcommittee. Alternatively, it may be determined that “substantially the same conditions”.
In other words, if a producer or the like determines that a group of multiple producers is regarded as a single producer and does not have a significant impact on the whole, it should be treated as “substantially identical conditions”. It is the purpose to admit.
In other words, if the producer determines that the producer is a slight difference, such as different at the individual level, and does not have a significant impact in terms of conveying the quality of the raw material of the food (secondary product) to the consumer This is to allow an allowable range at the judgment of the producer.

  On the other hand, a specific producer (a “specific producer” may be a single producer or a group of multiple producers) may be stuck with a particular production method (secondary In such cases, the criteria for whether or not a specific production method (for example, a production method that is particular to pesticide-free fertilizers) is the same are as follows. It may be determined whether or not. In general, the point that the producers are particular about is that they often support the quality of the raw materials of food (secondary products), and these ingenuity points can be used as judgment criteria such as “substantially the same conditions”. Is also one of the features of the present invention.

In addition, even if it is the same subcommittee in the same cooperative, the difference of the soil which forms an agricultural field may be clear. For example, producers usually think that the soil is completely different between fields that use chemical fertilizers and herbicides and fields that use only organic fertilizers and no herbicides or pesticides. is there. Therefore, when the farming method is different, if the producer judges that "substantially the same conditions are not allowed", even if the producers of the same subcommittee in the same cooperative, It may be determined that the conditions are not substantially the same.
For example, if the number of times the pesticide is used is 0 for the A group, 1 to 3 times for the B group, 4 times or more for the C group, and if it belongs to the same group, it is determined that “substantially the same conditions”. is there.

  In the above description, the description is mainly given of the raw material of vegetable food as an example, but the same applies to the raw material of animal food.

  1 and 2 are used to explain the accessory when the food is a primary product, but “food” is replaced with “food ingredients” and “substitute food” is replaced with “substitute ingredients”. By replacing with, secondary products can be considered in the same way.

  By the way, "food" here means food and drink for the intake and preference of nutrients (fresh food, animal food, vegetable food, processed food, taste food, seasoning material, health food, supplement, beverage , Processed materials, etc.) as well as pharmaceuticals and quasi drugs. For example, herbal medicine is also included. In addition, it is intended to include dog food and other animals.

  In addition, the “primary product” here is a fresh food, an animal food, or a vegetable food itself before processing, for example, a vegetable such as radish or cabbage, or a raw meat such as chicken or beef.

  Further, the “secondary product” herein is a product obtained by processing raw fresh food, raw animal food, or raw vegetable food. It also includes food produced by processing many kinds of secondary products. Specifically, alcohol, carbonated drinks, rice, frozen food, dog food, udon, miso soup, canned foods, sweets, ramen, bread, pickles, stir-fried vegetables, steak, hamburger and the like are applicable. Furthermore, the dish of one dish provided in a restaurant corresponds.

  According to the food product and the food product providing method of the present invention, it is possible for the consumer to select the food with greater peace of mind, and to improve the reliability of the food.

<1. First Embodiment>
[Description of configuration]
FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied. In the food product A shown here, an accommodation recess 3 is provided at the bottom of a container 2 that accommodates the food 1 in a sealed state. Is formed.

  The accommodation recess 3 accommodates an alternative integrated growth encapsulant 5 in the form of a transparent bag in which an alternative integrated growth 4 is hermetically enclosed. The food 1 and the alternative integrated growth 4 are separately accommodated, and the container 2 and the alternative integrated growth inclusion 5 are packaged by the wrapping paper 6.

Here, in the case where the food 1 is a primary product, the substitute integrated growth means “a portion that is grown integrally with the substitute food of the food 1 and is different from the portion corresponding to the food 1”.
The substitute food means a product grown separately from the food 1 under substantially the same conditions as the food 1.

  Specifically, when food 1 is a primary product such as strawberries, apples, beans, rice, wheat, etc., as an alternative integrated growth, strawberries and apples grown with the same fertilizer on the same farm as food 1 , Leaves, roots, branches, stems, bran, fir, vines, shells, rice ears, ears of wheat, malt, flowers and the like, which are grown together with alternative foods such as beans, rice and wheat. Note that the shell may have a fruit in the shell. However, the alternative integral growth is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the food 1.

On the other hand, when the food 1 is a secondary product, the alternative integrated growth means “a part that is grown integrally with the alternative raw material of the food 1 and is different from the part corresponding to the raw material of the food 1”. To do.
In addition, an alternative raw material means the thing grown separately from the raw material of the food A on the substantially same conditions as the raw material of the food 1.

  Specifically, in the case of processed foods that are processed from strawberries, apples, beans, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., where food 1 is a secondary product, as an alternative integrated growth product, raw materials for processed foods (strawberry, apples) , Beans, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.) Leaves, roots, branches, stems, bran grown together with alternative ingredients such as strawberries, apples, beans, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. , Vine, shell, ear of rice, flower, etc. However, the alternative integrated growth product is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the raw material of the processed food (food 1).

  Furthermore, in the case of beer whose food 1 is a secondary product, the alternative integrated growth product is an alternative raw material such as malt or hop grown with the same fertilizer on the same farm as the raw material of beer (malt, hips, etc.) Wheat and hop flowers grown together. However, the alternative integral growth is a portion different from the portion corresponding to the raw material of beer (food 1).

  In addition, a seal (an example of food information) 8 a is attached to the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5.

Here, as shown in FIG. 4, the meaning content of “substantially identical conditions” is displayed on the seal 8 a.
Specifically, when the food 1 is a primary product, a display is made as to the relationship between the food and the substitute food. For example, it is as follows.
(Example 1)
The producer 1 and the production time of the food 1 and the substitute food are the same.
(Example 2)
The producer 1 and the production area of the food 1 and the substitute food are the same.
(Example 3)
The producer 1 and the production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards) are the same for the food 1 and the alternative food.
(Example 4)
The production time and production area of the food 1 and the substitute food are the same.
(Example 5)
Food 1 and substitute food have the same production time and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 6)
Food 1 and substitute food have the same production area and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 7)
The producer, the production time, and the production area of the food 1 and the substitute food are the same.
(Example 8)
Food 1 and substitute food have the same producer, production time, and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 9)
Food 1 and substitute food have the same producer, production area, and production environment (agricultural standards, etc.).
(Example 10)
Food 1 and substitute food have the same production time, production area, and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 11)
Food 1 and alternative food have the same producer, production time, production area, and production environment (agricultural standards, etc.)

On the other hand, in the case where the food 1 is a secondary product, there is a display as to the relationship between the raw material of the food and the alternative raw material. For example, it is as follows.
(Example 1)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same production time as the producer.
(Example 2)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same producer and production area.
(Example 3)
The raw material 1 for food and the alternative raw material have the same producer and production environment (agricultural chemical standards, etc.).
(Example 4)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same production time and production area.
(Example 5)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same production time and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 6)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same production area and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 7)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same producer, production time, and production region.
(Example 8)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same producer, production time, and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 9)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same producer, production area, and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).
(Example 10)
The raw material of food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same production time, production area, and production environment (agricultural chemical standards, etc.).
(Example 11)
The raw material for food 1 and the alternative raw material have the same producer, production time, production area, and production environment (such as agricultural chemical standards).

  The seal 8a includes “indication about the relationship between the food 1 and the alternative food”, “indication of the relationship between the raw material of the food 1 and the alternative raw material”, and other If there is a special note, a special note is also written. Other special notes include, for example, information on producers, producers, suppliers of alternative foods and raw materials.

[effect]
In an example of the food product to which the present invention is applied, since the food 1 and the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 are integrated, not only the food 1 but also unavoidable when the food 1 is provided. An alternative integral growth enclosure 5 will also be provided. In this way, since the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 can be provided to the consumer together with the food 1, the factors affected in the process until the food 1 is provided to the consumer can be grasped. Therefore, the consumer can select the food product with more peace of mind, and the reliability of the food product will be improved.

  In addition, a seal 8a affixed to the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 is also provided to the consumer, so that the consumer can grasp the relationship between the food 1 and the alternative food, As a result, since the relationship between the food 1 and the alternative integrated growth 4 can also be grasped, the reliability of the food product can be further improved.

  Further, by providing the alternative integrated growth 4 to the consumer and providing the consumer with a seal 8a displaying the meaning content of “substantially identical conditions”, the consumer is usually in the background of the food 1 It is possible to know a portion that cannot be seen from the food, and to make the product more familiar, and to expect an increase in consumption of the food product A.

  In the distribution stage, accessories are positioned as one of the important information that can accurately disclose information on the quality of food products sold in the product shelves. By displaying “meaning content”, it becomes possible to provide consumers with more accurate information on the quality of food products.

  Furthermore, by telling consumers about the meaning of “substantially the same conditions” and clarifying the relationship between food and accessories, it becomes clear that food products and accessories are closely related. Improvement of product reliability will be realized.

  In addition, by actually providing the alternative integrated growth product 4, it is possible to sufficiently grasp the substance of the growth process of the provided food or food raw material. That is, as the character information, for example, information on the alternative integrated growth 4 may be disclosed, but only the perceptual understanding based on the character information grasps the substance of the growth process of the provided food or food ingredients. Is insufficient.

  In an example of the food product to which the present invention described above is applied, the producer himself / herself appeals to the consumer about “substantially the same conditions” to convey the quality of the product. It can be expected that the arrangement of products displayed on the product shelf will change completely. Specifically, taking meat as an example, the major classification is for each producer, the middle classification is for each type, and the minor classification is for each part. In this way, providing an accessory with “substantially identical conditions” to consumers means that the reliability of food products is improved compared to the current situation where the concept of “substantially identical conditions” is not introduced. Not only will this be realized, it will also bring about changes in the product arrangement.

  In addition, when determining the “substantially identical conditions” by the producer, if the standard is based on the scope of soil, feed, aquaculture feed, agricultural chemicals, or limited use, it is said that the production conditions should be satisfied to satisfy these standards. Awareness of purpose has emerged, leading to reform of the consciousness of producers. As a result, improvement in food quality control can be expected. In addition, since the “meaning content of substantially the same conditions” is transmitted to the consumer, it is possible for the consumer to grasp the production conditions.

[Modification]
In the first embodiment described above, the case where the meaning content of “substantially identical conditions” is displayed on the seal 8 a is described as an example. However, it is sufficient if the meaning content of “substantially the same condition” can be transmitted to the consumer, and it is not always necessary to display it on the sticker 8a.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, a seal 8 b on which a two-dimensional barcode is displayed may be attached to the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5. Note that the URL is recorded in the two-dimensional barcode, and the meaning content of “substantially identical conditions” as shown in FIG. 4 is displayed through the Internet by reading the two-dimensional barcode with a portable terminal or the like. The website can be accessed.

  In the above-described modification, a very large amount of information can be communicated to the consumer, and the consumer can select the food product more fully with peace of mind.

  Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the case where the seal 8a displaying the meaning content of “substantially the same condition” is provided together with the food 1 is described as an example. However, it is sufficient for the consumer to be able to grasp the meaning content of “substantially the same condition”, and it is not always necessary to provide the consumer with the seal 8a on which the meaning content of “substantially the same condition” is displayed. It is only necessary to show the consumer the information on the meaning of “substantially the same condition”.

  In the first embodiment described above, the case where the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 is provided with the seal 8a is described as an example. It is sufficient if the seal 8a can be provided, and the seal 8a is not necessarily required to be attached to the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5, and the seal 8a may be attached to the container 2.

Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the case where the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2 is described as an example. However, the position where the housing recess 3 is formed is limited to the bottom of the container 2. It is not something that can be done.
However, if the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2, even if the alternative integrated growth 4 leaks from the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5, the alternative integrated growth 4 is not contained in the container. 2 can be prevented from being mixed with the food 1 in the interior of the container 2, so that the housing recess 3 is preferably formed at the bottom of the container 2. When the consumer purchases the food product A, when placing importance on placing the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 at a position that is easier to see, the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 is placed above the container 2. Will be placed.

In the first embodiment described above, one alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 is attached to one container 2 containing the food 1, but the container 2 and alternative integral growth inclusion are included. The body 5 need not necessarily correspond one-on-one.
For example, a plurality of containers 2 containing food 1 may be collected and stored in a packaging box, and one alternative integrated growth inclusion 5 may be stored in the packaging box.

  In the above-described first embodiment, the case where the container 2 containing the food 1 and the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 are integrated is described as an example. It is sufficient if the integrated growth inclusion body 5 can be provided, and the food 1 and the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 are not necessarily integrated.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 5, an alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 is attached like a necklace to a container 2 containing a food 1 (for example, sake) (here, a bottle is illustrated as the container 2). You may do it.

  Further, for example, when a product display shelf is provided with a partition plate in a store and the like, and the food product A is displayed in each partition, the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 may be displayed in each partition. .

  Furthermore, when the same producer or the same production group (multiple people) sells alone (one unit) on the shelf in the store, shelves for the products of the same producer and the same production group arranged for each shelf. Alternate integral growth inclusion bodies 5 may be provided side by side.

  Further, as a method of providing the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5, when the consumer purchases the food 1, the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 may be provided together with the food 1, or when the food 1 is sent by courier You may make it send with the alternative integral growth inclusion body 5, and may provide the alternative integral growth inclusion body 5 together with providing the food 1 with a vending machine.

The alternative integrated growth inclusion 5 encloses an alternative integrated growth 4 of food corresponding to the displayed food 10, that is, food provided at a restaurant.

  In another example of the method for providing a food product to which the present invention is applied, the alternative integrated growth inclusion body 5 can be displayed and the alternative integrated growth 4 of the food provided at the restaurant can be shown to the consumer. The meaning content of “substantially the same condition” can be shown to the consumer through the seal 8a, and the factors affected in the process until the food 1 provided at the restaurant is provided to the consumer can be grasped. This makes it possible for consumers to select restaurant products with greater peace of mind, and improves restaurant reliability.

<5. Modification>
In the first to fourth embodiments described above, the case where the appendage is an alternative integral growth is described as an example, but the appendage is not necessarily limited to the alternative integral growth. The following may be used instead of the above.

[Modification 1]
For example, the next-generation seed of an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food (primary product) may be used as an accessory. Specifically, next-generation seeds of alternative foods cultivated by the same agricultural method as foods at the same time as foods (primary products) may be attached.

[Modification 2]
Further, for example, seed meal obtained from an alternative food grown separately from the food under substantially the same conditions as the food (primary product) may be used as an accessory.
