미즈칸이 조달 비용 상승에 따른 공급난으로 낫토 제품 4종의 판매를 중단했다. 회사 측은 중동 지역의 전쟁이 포장 낫토 생산에 부담을 주고 있다고 밝혔다.
미즈칸은 5월 4일 낫토 제품 4종의 판매를 중단했다고 발표했다. 회사 측은 중동 전쟁으로 인한 조달 비용 상승이 포장 낫토 생산에 압박을 가하고 있다고 설명했다.
미즈칸은 이번 공급난이 중동 분쟁과 관련된 비용 상승에서 비롯되었다고 밝혔다. 이란, 플라스틱, 석유, 가스, 호르무즈 해협과 같은 키워드들이 생산 원가 상승을 견인하는 요인으로 지목된다.
이번 판매 중단은 식품 업계 전반에 걸친 인플레이션 압력 속에 이루어졌다. 회사 측은 판매 중단 기간이나 구체적인 영향 범위에 대해서는 추가적인 설명을 내놓지 않았다.
