Product Overview
We produce one product: kimchi. It is available in two formats — 235g and 475g.
Both formats are produced at our Davao City facility under the same fermentation process and quality standards. The difference is pack size.
Ingredients
Primary ingredient: Napa cabbage (pechay). Seasoning: red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and salt.
No artificial preservatives. No artificial coloring. Fermentation is the preservation method.
Corporate Philosophy
We recommend consumption within 45 days of production — the window during which both fresh texture and active lactic acid bacteria content are best preserved.*
This recommendation is reflected in our production scheduling, delivery frequency, and store-level inventory management. Every unit in our network is tracked against its production date.

Quality Standards
Each production batch undergoes verification against internal specifications before
release for distribution:
Temperature management status throughout production and storage
Production date recorded and tracked at
unit level
pH progression during
fermentation
Batch-level quality verification
prior to release
Products that do not meet internal specifications are not released.
Regulatory Compliance
Manna Korean FNB Corporation operates under a License to Operate (LTO) issued by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All products are registered with the FDA prior to distribution.
Category Expansion Capability
Our production facility is equipped for kimchi manufacturing. The cold chain infrastructure, replenishment system, and store network that support our current product line are not kimchi-specific.
The operational framework we have built is applicable to any refrigerated or time-sensitive food product. Category expansion is a function of production capacity and partner alignment — not a rebuild of the distribution infrastructure.
