Pokka Sapporo Holdings
is a corporation headquartered in Japan, which sells canned or bottled coffee, flavored tea and an assortment of other beverages. Pokka is owned by Sapporo Holdings, Japan's fourth largest brewer by volume and makers of Yebisu and Sleeman. History In 1957, the company was founded as Nikka Lemon Corporation to manufacture and sell synthetic lemons, and in 1967, the Fair Trade Commission issued an exclusion order to the company for misrepresenting the use of lemon juice even though it was not used. The so-called "Pokkah Lemon Incident" occurred, which drew strong criticism from consumers. In fact, not only Pokka Lemon, but similar products were being marketed by other companies, and the exclusion order had been issued as well. In 1972, the company focused on the development and sale of Pokka Coffee, an authentic canned coffee, and in 1973, it co-developed a vending machine with Sanden Corporation, Sankyo Electric (now Sanden) that served as both a cold and hot vending machine.

Food And Drink Companies Established In 1957
Food is any substance consumed by an organism for nutritional support. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals. The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. Different species of animals have different feeding behaviours that satisfy the needs of their unique metabolisms, often evolved to fill a specific ecological niche within specific geographical contexts. Omnivorous humans are highly adaptable and have adapted to obtain food in many different ecosystems. The majority of the food energy required is supplied by the industrial food industry, which produces food with intensive agriculture and distributes it through complex food processing and food distribution systems. This system of conventional agriculture relies heavily on fossil fuels, which means that the food and agricultural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
