Glico-Morinaga case
Morinaga was one of the confectionery companies targeted during the Glico-Morinaga case, a major Japanese extortion and poisoning scare involving threats against food manufacturers. The incident became a high-profile criminal investigation and affected public confidence in packaged confectionery, but the cited material does not establish that Morinaga caused the attacks or identify a final perpetrator.
Fraudulent investment solicitations using the Morinaga name
Morinaga has publicly warned that unauthorized parties have used its corporate name while soliciting investments purportedly related to factory construction. The warning concerns impersonation and fraud, not an established finding of misconduct by Morinaga itself.
