we read the "chi-zu" on the package and thought string cheese. for some reason, we neglected to read the "kamahogo" directly after that, which basically means fish.

technically, i don't think my photo really applies to the article since it was a Japanese product and bought in Japan (this photo was taken while i was flying from Shikoku to Sapporo), but i'm encouraged by the implementation of COOL and think food labeling (both ingredients and country-of-origin) is very important.

Japan doesn't have the same label requirements as the U.S. and friends of mine with food allergies had to be extremely cautious with packaged foods and snacks.
