Japan’s health ministry put up a list on its official site of all the recalled products.

In the week since a line of Japanese health supplements began being recalled, five people have died and more than 100 people were in hospital as of Friday.

“We apologise deeply,” President Akihiro Kobayashi told reporters on Friday, bowing for a long time to emphasise the apology alongside three other top company officials. The company’s products have been recalled — as have dozens of other products that contain benikoji, including miso paste, crackers and a vinegar dressing.
