Maruha Nichiro Holdings Inc.’s frozen foods unit said it’s cutting production at a factory in Yubari, northern Japan, as consumers shun its brands following the discovery of pesticide in products made at a separate plant.
The company is reducing operations in Yubari after shutting down the facility where the contaminated products were made, said Mizuki Nagaoka, a spokeswoman for the frozen foods unit, Aqli Foods Corp. She declined to say how much the company was reducing production.
