Glico

Additionally, Glico manufactures processed foods, such as curry stocks and retort takikomi gohan pouches, and dietary supplement products.

Later, in 1922, Riichi established a company, Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd.[16] Its Osaka and Tokyo factories were destroyed during World War II, and they were reopened in 1951.

In 1984, the Glico Morinaga case, a series of criminal incidents targeting Japanese major food manufacturers, occurred.

The group claimed that $21 million ($2.26 billion yen) worth of sweets was laced with potassium cyanide soda, while Katsuhisa Ezaki(jp), president and CEO, was kidnapped but escaped by himself.
