BARLEYmaxTM will be used in the buns of the new MOS Rice Burger Red Oolong-teaFlavored Grilled Chicken. The BARLEYmaxTM buns will be combined with a chicken fillet
flavored with red oolong-tea sauce, a favorite in the local market, resulting in a burger
rich in taste and filled with good bacteria to promote human digestion. The new burger

MOS Burger’s 30th anniversary. Sales are expected to reach 310,000 burgers.
Teijin, aiming to expand its global functional food ingredient business, is collaboratingwith Taiwan MOS Burger on the possibility of using BARLEYmaxTM in additional foodproducts. Teijin’s healthcare business is enhancing the quality of life for people

BARLEYmaxTM was developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research
Organisation (CSIRO), Australia's national science agency. BARLEYmaxTM has nearly
40 times more dietary fiber than white rice, more than double as rolled barley.
BARLEYmaxTM also contains dietary fibers such as fructan, β-glucan and resistant starch,each of which enters the intestine at a different digestive rate to provide food for goodbacteria. In recent years, BARLEYmaxTM has been adopted for cooked rice, cereal,confectionery and bread as a dietary fiber-rich food. According to recommended
nutritional values in Food Labeling Standards, BARLEYmaxTM contains iron, zinc, niacin
and vitamin B6, all typically lacking in modern diets. Also, BARLEYmaxTM offers a goodnutritional balance and contains less sugar than other grains, based on comparisons ofdata in Standard Tables of Food Composition in Japan - 2020 - (Eighth Revised Edition).
Teijin acquired the exclusive marketing rights of BARLEYmaxTM in Asia in 2019 targetingthe sales in Taiwan, South Korea, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore.
