Reporter noted that many Japanese children's food also included toys, but toys are at the other outside food bag gift packaging, and will definitely not like home, like on the food bag inside.

     Japan's "Food Sanitation Law" also stipulates that food packaging must be tasteless. Prior to a number of businessmen in order to attract consumers, to create a number of children have scent bags, by the detection of one of the volatile substances containing excess, so the parties concerned to prohibit use it to packaged food.

     Plastic bags marked with the heating temperature

     "Your food safe? Whether or not qualified to take a look at packaging it!" This is the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Federation used to remind consumers of the sentence.
