Shinsegae Food Exports "Nutritional Samgyetang" to the US for the First Time

Initial Shipment of 8,000 Packs to Be Supplied to Mega Mart and Others

Shinsegae Food is introducing Samgyetang, a representative Korean summer health meal, to the United States.

On July 8, Shinsegae Food announced that it would carry out the first export of its "Nutritional Samgyetang" to the United States, with an initial shipment of approximately 8,000 packs set to depart within this month.

Nutritional Samgyetang, launched by Shinsegae Food in 2022, is an easy-to-prepare health meal made by boiling a whole Korean chicken stuffed with glutinous rice, ginseng, and garlic in a broth of domestic vegetables. Notably, it proved its product competitiveness in the ready-to-eat health food market by recording cumulative sales of 500,000 units in Korea last year.

The Nutritional Samgyetang being exported this time will be supplied to more than 100 offline stores in the United States, including major Korean supermarkets with high demand for K-food such as Mega Mart, Zion Market, Hannam Chain, Arirang Market, and Gaju Market, as well as leading ethnic markets such as 99 Ranch, Tokyo Central, Little Tokyo, and GW.

Starting with the export of this initial batch of Nutritional Samgyetang, Shinsegae Food plans to monitor local consumer response and pursue an expansion of its export product lineup and distribution network.
