SUJISLINK Prepares for New Leap in Plant-Based Meat Market with New Facility

SUJISLINK, a key player in South Korea's plant-based meat market, is poised for significant growth with the construction of its dedicated plant for plant-based meat, which began in 2023. This facility is the first large-scale production site exclusively for plant-based meat in South Korea. As of July 2024, SUJISLINK has completed its registration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and received a DUNS number, marking a critical step in its entry into the U.S. market and enhancing its credibility in the global arena.

The FDA registration and DUNS number issuance hold significant implications beyond mere procedural compliance. By meeting the essential requirements for entering the U.S. market, SUJISLINK has secured the potential for expanding its exports of plant-based meat. FDA registration is mandatory for exporting food products to the U.S., while the DUNS number serves as a unique identifier for each facility, playing a vital role in systematic management and ensuring product safety within the FDA database. This preparation allows SUJISLINKto legally offer its products to American consumers.

Furthermore, the issuance of the DUNS number could enhance SUJISLINK's credibility on an international scale. As an important indicator of trustworthiness and transparency in global business, the DUNS number is essential for corporate credit assessments, building partnerships, and conducting transactions in the international market. Consequently, SUJISLINK is now positioned to increase its competitiveness not only in the U.S. but also in other overseas markets, opening doors to new business opportunities.

The FDA registration satisfies the Food Facility Registration (FFR) requirements, enabling SUJISLINK's plant to provide U.S. consumers with safer and more reliable products through systematic quality control and traceability systems. This capability will facilitate accurate and swift responses during product recalls or import inspections, significantly helping to prevent and resolve various issues that may arise during the export process.

A spokesperson from SUJISLINK stated, "This FDA registration and DUNS number issuance are important milestones for SUJISLINK to enhance its credibility and strengthen its competitiveness in the global plant-based meat market. We will continue to strive for sales expansion in various overseas markets, including the U.S."

Looking ahead, SUJISLINK plans to focus on improving the quality and production efficiency of its plant-based meat products, positioning itself as a leading player in the environmentally friendly future food market.
