Hereinafter, modes for carrying out the invention (hereinafter referred to as “embodiments”) will be described. The description will be given in the following order.
1. First Embodiment 2. FIG. Second embodiment

<1. First Embodiment>
[Description of configuration]
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied. In the food product A shown here, an accommodation recess 3 is formed at the bottom of a container 2 containing the food 1 in a sealed state. Yes.

In the housing recess 3, a bag-like production-participant inclusion body 5 in which the production-participation material 4 is hermetically sealed is housed.
Note that the food 1 and the production-related substance 4 are separately accommodated, and the container 2 of the food 1 and the production-related substance enclosure 5 of the production-related substance 4 are integrally packaged with the wrapping paper 6.

  The production-related substance 4 means that the food 1 is related to the production of the food 1 when the food 1 is a primary product, and the food 1 is related to the production of the raw material of the food 1 when the food 1 is a secondary product. To do.

Specifically, when the food 1 is a vegetable such as radish or cabbage itself, the production involved 4 is the soil, water, fertilizer, soil disinfection actually used when cultivating the vegetable (food). Agents, fungicides, agricultural chemicals, seeds and the like.
In this case, for example, only the soil particles may be enclosed in the production participant enclosure 5, or the soil particles and the soil disinfectant may be enclosed together in the production participant enclosure 5, The particles may be enclosed in one production participant inclusion body 5 and the soil deodorant may be enclosed in another production participant inclusion body 5.

  In addition, when the food 1 is a processed food made of a processed single vegetable such as pickles or heated vegetables, the production-related product 4 is a vegetable that is a raw material of the processed food (food raw material). The soil, water, fertilizer, soil disinfectant, disinfectant, pesticide, seed, etc. actually used when cultivating

Furthermore, when the food 1 is a processed food comprising a plurality of processed vegetables such as salads and stir-fried vegetables, each of the vegetables that serve as raw materials of the processed food (food raw materials) is used as the production-related substance 4. The soil, water, fertilizer, soil disinfectant, disinfectant, agricultural chemicals, seeds, etc. that were actually used when cultivating can be mentioned.
In addition, when there are a plurality of types of raw materials for processed foods, representative two or three types of raw materials may be selected, and the soil particles used when cultivating each may be mixed and enclosed.

  Further, when the food 1 is meat such as chicken or beef itself, examples of the production-related substance 4 include feed, water, antibiotics, and the like actually used when raising the meat (food).

  Further, when the food 1 is a processed food made of processed single meat such as steak, the production-related substance 4 is used when raising meat that is a raw material for the processed food (food raw material). Examples include feed, water, antibiotics and the like actually used.

Further, when the food 1 is a processed food made from processed meats such as hamburgers, the meat involved as the raw material of the processed food (food raw material) is raised as the production-related substance 4. The feed, water, antibiotics, etc. that were actually used.
In addition, when there are a plurality of types of raw materials for processed foods, feeds, water, antibiotics, and the like actually used when breeding the respective raw materials may be mixed and enclosed.

  Further, when the food 1 is a processed food comprising a plurality of types of vegetables and meats such as lunch boxes and hamburgers, each of the production-related substances 4 is a raw material for the processed food (food raw material). Soil, water, fertilizer, soil disinfectant, agricultural chemicals, seeds, etc. that were actually used when growing vegetables, and feed that was actually used when raising each meat that was used as a raw material for the processed food (food raw material) , Water, antibiotics and the like.

Here, in the present embodiment, the case where only the production participant 4 is enclosed in the production participant inclusion body 5 is described as an example, but it is not necessary to be limited to such a case.
For example, when the food 1 is a vegetable, the soil attached to the root together with the root of the vegetable may be encapsulated in the production participation enclosure 5 as the production participation 4. In addition, if the production-related substances 4 do not look good like soil or fertilizer, and the appearance of the food product A is impaired, the soil and fertilizers (production-related substances 4) are colored and decorated. You may do it. In addition, you may color the production inclusion inclusion body 5. Furthermore, the production-related substance 4 may be enclosed as it is, or may be enclosed in a pulverized state.

  In the food product A configured as described above, since the food 1 and the production participation 4 are integrated, when providing the food 1, not only the food 1 but also the production participation 4 inevitably. Will also be provided.

[Modification]
Here, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the handled product is food is described as an example, but the application target of the present invention is not necessarily limited to food.
For example, the present invention can also be applied to cosmetics and medicines, and in the case of cosmetics and medicines made from extracts from vegetables, meats, etc., when cultivating each vegetable as the raw material (raw material) Soil, water, fertilizer, soil disinfectant, disinfectant, agricultural chemicals, seeds, etc., and the feed, water, and antibiotics that were actually used for breeding the raw materials (raw materials) And the like are encapsulated in the production-related substance enclosure 5 as the production-related substance 4.

  In addition, the product to which the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, but the product that touches the body of the consumer (user) such as food, cosmetics, and medicine is the consumer (user). However, since it is considered that the safety concerns are high, the usefulness of the effect of the present invention is further enhanced by a product that touches the body of the consumer (user). Consumers (users) are not limited to humans, but also include pets such as birds, dogs, cats, and goldfish. Further, the case of touching the user's (consumer) body includes not only the case where the product touches the body directly, but also the case where the product is touched indirectly through the air.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where only the production-related matter inclusion body 5 is accommodated in the accommodation recess 3 is described as an example. However, the production-related matter (here, actually the production-related matter is described). A computer-readable recording medium in which information on components, product names, places, and the like is included in addition to the production-related substances 4 enclosed in the inclusion body 5 and attached to the food 1 as well as other production-related substances. May be accommodated in the accommodating recess 3 together with the production inclusion inclusion body 5. As a recording medium, a memory card such as a USB memory, a memory disk such as a CD, MD, or DVD, an IC tag, or the like can be used.

  Here, without recording predetermined information on the recording medium, a description item describing a URL, a two-dimensional barcode, or the like, or a recording medium recording a URL, a two-dimensional barcode, etc. are accommodated in the accommodating recess 3. Alternatively, the address where the information exists may be informed so that the information can be browsed by accessing a recording medium of a specific server on the Internet using a computer or a mobile phone.

  Furthermore, the storage recess 3 may store an environmental record that records the actual environment when the food 1 or the raw material of the food 1 is produced.

  Here, examples of environmental records include, for example, photos of cultivation and breeding locations of raw materials and processing factories, soil analysis results, information on genetic recombination, changes in temperature, humidity and rainfall, production management status, quality inspection Examples include recording paper that records the situation, characteristics of food and food ingredients, selling points, and the voice of workers. In addition, other examples include data that records the processing date and processing method such as fertilization, top fertilization, weeding, and insecticidal treatment.

  The environmental record may be accommodated together with a recording medium on which information such as the components related to the production-related substances described above is recorded. In this case, the environmental recorded material may be separated from the recording medium, or the environmental recorded material may be recorded on the recording medium together with information such as components relating to the production-related material.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, the case where the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2 is described as an example, but the position where the housing recess 3 is formed is limited to the bottom of the container 2. is not.
However, when the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2, even if the production participant 4 leaks from the production participant enclosure 5 by any chance, the production participant 4 remains inside the container 2. Therefore, it is preferable that the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2.

Further, in the present embodiment described above, one production participant inclusion body 5 is attached to one container 2 containing food, but the container 2 and the production participant inclusion body 5 are not necessarily one. There is no need to correspond one-on-one.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2, one production participant inclusion body in which a plurality of containers 2 containing food 1 are collected and contained in a packaging box 8, and a production participant 4 of food 1 is enclosed in the packaging box 8. 5 may be accommodated.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment mentioned above, although the case where the container 2 which accommodated the foodstuff 1 and the production participation inclusion body 5 were integrated is demonstrated as an example, the production participation thing 4 with the foodstuff 1 is demonstrated. Can be provided, and the food 1 and the production-related substance 4 do not necessarily have to be integrated.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when a product display shelf 9 is provided with a partition plate 10 for each food product A in a store or the like in a store or the like, and each food product A is displayed in each compartment 11, the product is produced in each compartment 11. The inclusion inclusion body 5 may be displayed.

  Furthermore, when the same producer or the same production group (multiple people) sells alone (one unit) on the shelf in the store, shelves for the products of the same producer and the same production group arranged for each shelf. You may provide a production participation thing side by side.

  In addition, as a method of providing the production-related substance 4, the consumer may provide the production-related substance 4 together with the food 1 when purchasing the food 1, or together with the production-related substance 4 when sending the food 1 by courier You may make it send, and when supplying the foodstuff 1 with a vending machine, you may supply the production participation thing 4 together.

[effect]
In the above-described food product A to which the present invention is applied, it is possible to provide the consumer with the production-related material 4 together with the food 1, and grasp the factors affected in the process until the food 1 is provided to the consumer. This makes it possible for consumers to select a food product with greater peace of mind, thereby improving the reliability of the food product.

  In addition, by providing the consumer with the production-related material 4, it is possible to know the part that is usually in the background of the food 1 and is not visible to the consumer, and to make the product more familiar, The consumption of food product A can be expected to increase.

  Furthermore, it becomes possible to facilitate the understanding of the quality of the food 1 by providing the product 4 to the consumer. That is, when a sample of a raw material powder is attached (for example, in the case of the technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-5665), it is difficult to understand the quality of food unless inspection of the raw material powder sample is performed. On the other hand, in the case of providing the production-related material 4, although there are some cases where an inspection or the like is required, the quality of the food 1 can be judged at a glance without performing the inspection or the like. This makes it easier to understand quality.

  Specifically, for example, when “soil containing insects” is provided as the processed vegetable production-related material 4, “the vegetables used in this processed vegetable are produced in soil where insects can survive. It can be determined that “the pesticide is not sprayed or the amount of the sprayed pesticide is small”. In addition, when vegetable powder used for processed vegetables is attached, information on agricultural chemicals cannot be obtained unless the powder is inspected.

  In addition, by being able to judge the quality of the food 1 without the need for inspection or the like, it is possible to obtain information used as a material for judging the safety of the quality of the food 1 before the consumer purchases the food product A. It is possible to provide the consumer with information such as whether or not to do so. On the other hand, if the inspection of the quality of the food 1 requires inspection, the information on the safety of the quality of the food 1 is obtained for the first time after purchase. Can not be provided to the person.

<2. Second Embodiment>
In the food product A according to the second embodiment, the housing recess 3 is formed at the bottom of the container 2 in which the food 1 is housed in a sealed manner, as in the first embodiment (FIG. 1). reference).

A bag-like additive enclosure 15 in which the additive 14 used in the food 1 is hermetically enclosed is accommodated in the accommodation recess 3.
The food 1 and the additive 14 are separately accommodated, and the container 2 of the food 1 and the additive enclosure 15 of the additive 14 are integrally packaged with the wrapping paper 6.

  The additive 14 means a food additive, which is added to, mixed with, infiltrated or otherwise used in the food 1 for the purpose of manufacturing the food 1 or processing or storage.

As for the additive 14, the total amount used for the food 1 may be enclosed in the additive inclusion body 15, or a part thereof (for example, 1/2, 1/3, etc. of the total amount used) is enclosed in the additive. It may be enclosed in the body 15.
When the amount of the additive 14 enclosed in the additive inclusion body 15 is the total amount, it indicates that it is the total amount, and when it is a part thereof, it indicates that it is a part (for example, 1 / of the total amount). It is preferable to clearly indicate in the additive enclosure 15 that it is 2 or 1/3 of the total amount.

Various additives may be encapsulated in the single additive encapsulant 15, or the additive 14 may be encapsulated in the additive encapsulant 15 according to the function of the additive 14.
In addition, when the additive 14 is encapsulated in the additive encapsulant 15 separately for each function, it is preferable to clearly indicate what function the additive 14 is encapsulated in each additive encapsulant 15. .

  In the food product A configured as described above, since the food 1 and the additive 14 are integrated, not only the food 1 but also the additive 14 is unavoidably provided when the food 1 is provided. Will be.

[Modification]
The object of application of the present invention is not necessarily limited to food, the utility of products that touch the body of consumers (users) is increased, and the formation position of the housing recess 3 is limited to the bottom of the container 2 The point that the container 2 and the additive inclusion body 15 do not necessarily correspond one-to-one, the point that the food 1 and the additive 14 do not necessarily have to be integrated, etc. This is the same as the embodiment.
In addition, as a method of providing the additive 14, the consumer 14 may provide the additive 14 together with the food 1 when purchasing the food 1, or to send the additive 14 together with the additive 14 when sending the food 1 by courier. Alternatively, the additive 14 may be supplied together with the food 1 supplied by the vending machine, as in the first embodiment.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where only the additive enclosure 15 is accommodated in the accommodation recess 3 is described as an example. However, the additive (here, the additive enclosure 15 is actually used). In addition to the additive 14 attached to the food product 1 and other additives, the computer-readable recording medium on which information such as ingredients and product names is recorded together with the additive enclosure 15 You may accommodate in the accommodation recessed part 3. FIG. Note that, as the recording medium, a memory card such as a USB memory, a memory disk such as a CD, MD, or DVD, an IC tag, or the like can be used as in the first embodiment.

  Here, without recording predetermined information on the recording medium, a description item describing a URL, a two-dimensional barcode, or the like, or a recording medium recording a URL, a two-dimensional barcode, etc. are accommodated in the accommodating recess 3. The first implementation described above is that the address where the information exists may be informed so that the information can be browsed by accessing a recording medium of a specific server on the Internet using a computer or a mobile phone. It is the same as the form.

  Furthermore, the storage recess 3 may store an environmental record that records the actual environment when the food 1 is manufactured using the additive.

  Here, as the environmental record, for example, a photograph of a factory that manufactures the food 1 using additives, production management status, food characteristics and sales points, a recording paper that records an operator's voice, and the like can be cited. .

  Note that the environmental record is the same as the first embodiment described above in that it may be stored together with a recording medium on which information such as the components relating to the above-mentioned additives is recorded.

[effect]
In the food product A to which the present invention is applied, the additive 14 can be provided to the consumer together with the food 1, and the additive added in the process until the food 1 is provided to the consumer is grasped. This makes it possible for consumers to select a food product with greater peace of mind and to improve the reliability of the food product.

  In addition, by providing the additive 14 to the consumer, it is possible to know a portion that is usually in the background of the food 1 and is not visible to the consumer, and to make the product more familiar, Expansion of consumption of product A can be expected.

Furthermore, the quality of the food 1 can be easily understood by supplying the additive 14 to the consumer. That is, in general, a product package displays the additive used in the food, but the name of the additive is generally specialized and it is difficult to get used to it. Even perceptually difficult to understand. On the other hand, when the additive 14 is provided, the additive used in the food 1 can be visually understood, and the quality of the food 1 can be judged at a glance. This makes it easier to understand quality.
In particular, when the total amount of the additive 14 is encapsulated in the additive encapsulant 15, the quality can be understood more easily.

  In addition, even when the additive 14 is encapsulated in the additive enclosure 15 by function, the amount of additive used can be ascertained by function, making it easier to understand the quality of the food 1. It will be more fully realized.
