Mizkan announced on May 4 that it has suspended sales of four natto products. The company said procurement costs have risen due to the war in the Middle East, putting pressure on packed natto production.
Mizkan stated that the supply strain stems from higher costs linked to the Middle East conflict. Keywords such as Iran, plastic, oil, gas, and the Strait of Hormuz highlight the factors driving inflation in production.
The suspension comes amid broader inflationary pressures in the food sector. The company has not provided further details on the duration or affected products.
