Japan Offspring Fund

Japan Offspring Fund was established in 1984 and is registered as a Nonprofit Organization (NPO). JOF activities include testing the safety of food and campaigning about safety issues regarding “living”, a broad concept based on the Japanese word kurashi. In 2007, we moved to our brand new office in an eco-building in Yono, Saitama, Japan. 

The Japanese name, Shokuhin to Kurashi no Anzen Kikin literally means “Fund for Safe Food and Living”. Financial support for activities comes from members fees (including a subscription to the monthly magazine “Safety of Our Food and Life”) as well as from sales of other publications. Starting in 2004, we are also publishing “Anzen Style” to promote safe and healthy products around Japan.
