[Overseas Business] Austrian food-related study tour "Future of Food" visits Toy Medical -- Proprietary "salt offsetting" technology will change the future of food worldwide

The world is paying attention to Toy Medical's salt offsetting technology.

In April 2026, a leader from Austria's food industry visited our company.
The group consists of participants in the "Future of Food" study tour.
They then visited Toy Medical's headquarters in Kumamoto.

The purpose of this visit is to inspect your unique "salt offset technology."
It also provided an opportunity for participants to experience the technology firsthand.
Furthermore, we were able to have a dialogue with the management team of a long-established meat processing company.
As a result, we received a great deal of interest in our technology.

■Toy Medical's salt offsetting technology solves European challenges

The WHO recommends that adults consume less than 5 grams of salt per day.

Therefore, various European countries are strengthening regulations on reducing salt intake.
On the other hand, traditional meat processing techniques require high levels of salt.
In other words, balancing health standards with traditional manufacturing methods is not easy.

However, there has been no effective solution until now.
That's where Toy Medical's "salt offset technology" comes into play.
"Salt offsetting technology" offers a third option by offsetting (canceling) salt while preserving the flavor.

■ Evaluations received from the inspection team

We received the following comments from the management team of the inspection group:

"This technology is clearly different from conventional salt reduction techniques."
"This approach is different from alternative salts that produce a bitter taste."
"There is a possibility of passing on the traditional flavor to the next generation without changing it."

These evaluations demonstrate the uniqueness of our technology.
Furthermore, we were able to confirm the high level of practical demand in the European market.

■What Toy Medical aims for

Our company's core principle is "preventing salt from entering the body."
Therefore, it is possible to achieve both deliciousness and health at the same time.
Furthermore, we will promote developments that respect the food culture and traditional manufacturing methods of each country.
We aim to contribute to dining tables around the world using technology originating in Japan.
