In addition, "producer" here is the name of the production division for each vegetable, such as an individual name, a company name, an organization such as an agricultural cooperative, or an agricultural cooperative. Or

Furthermore, the production place of each raw material is also described in the seal 8a (see FIG. 2). Note that the “production area” here is a detailed description to the extent that the consumer can visit the farmland or the like that is the production area (for example, information including a lot number). However, it may be difficult to grasp the specific production locations of all raw materials, and specific production locations may be described only for some raw materials.
The “production area information including the lot number” is an example of a lot number explanation unit.

  Here, as the description of “production place”, not only the information of “lot number” but also the information of “owner of lot number”, in other words, the name of the right holder of the production place (for example, the name of the right holder of the land) is described. Also good. In that case, it is possible to take measures such as including a certified copy of the registry.

In addition to the name of the raw material, the producer and the production area, the raw material with other special notes is also described (not shown in FIG. 2). As other special notes, for example, information on the suppliers of raw materials can be cited.
Further, not only the production area of the raw material but also information on the production area of the bread 21 may be described. Specifically, information including a lot number may be posted on the location of the bakery.

The seal 8a also describes that a predetermined sign is present at each raw material production place (not shown in FIG. 2).
Here, the “predetermined sign” means a sign displaying the lot number of the production area. Note that “the lot number is displayed” means, for example, that (1) the lot number is written on the sign and visible, or (2) an identifier (two-dimensional barcode, etc.) is displayed on the sign and displayed. If the website with the lot number can be accessed via the identifier, etc.
The “description that a predetermined sign is present” is an example of a sign presence explanation unit.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, for the flour that is one of the ingredients of the bread 21, a label 1 is formed in the production area, and the label 1 of the production area is “Kaburi, Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture”. “966” is displayed.
