  • What is Japan oilseed Processors Association?
  • Japan Oilseed Processors Association is a nonprofit industry organization comprised of companies involved in the production and processing of vegetable oils.
  • What are JAS Standards for edible vegetable oil?
  • JAS standards are defined for widely-available products. For edible vegetable oil, ratings are defined for normal salad oil and other oil which is generally used. New oil which is not widely available and unique products created by corporations is not in the category of edible vegetable oil.
  • Why is Japan interested in promoting the olive oil sector?
  • Japan’s increasing interest in fostering its olive oil sector under the IOC’s guidance is enthusiastically greeted by the Organization, the world’s only intergovernmental organization exclusively dedicated to the standardisation and the promotion of the sustainable production and consumption of olive oil and table olives across the globe.
  • Can I use the name'salad oil' instead of the general product name?
  • When establishing the JAS standard, the name “salad oil” was used as the grade name. Therefore, for vegetable oil for which JAS standards are not defined and for products which do not have JAS ratings, it is not possible to use the name "salad oil" instead of the general product name.
  • Why is Jas a symbol of safety for edible vegetable oil?
  • This is the key reason why JAS is called a “symbol of safety” for edible vegetable oil. In order to receive JAS ratings, the product must have been manufactured at a plant that is certified as having passed a strict screening based on law (called a "certified plant"), and must have passed the JAS standard values.
