Yamazaki Baking Co., Ltd. (?????????, Yamazaki Seipan Kabushiki-gaisha) is a Japanese food company and the world's and Japan's largest bread-baking corporation, that makes bread, bakery products and confectionery. It was established by Tojuro Iijima in Japan on 9 March 1948 and started mass production of bread in 1955.
Yamazaki products can be found in various Asian countries, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Thailand, and China. They also operate within the United States and France under the Vie de France brand after purchasing the company in 1991.
In October 1970, the company established a joint venture, Yamazaki Nabisco Co., Ltd. (now known as Yamazaki Biscuits), with Nabisco of the United States and Nichimen Jitsugyo Corporation (currently Sojitz Corporation). By 1988 Yamazaki raised its stake in the joint venture to 80% by acquiring the shares held by Nabisco.
Yamazaki used to use potassium bromate in their bread until 2014 while all other Japanese baking companies voluntarily stopped using it in 1980 due to suspicions of carcinogenicity.
