Rice noodle production facility in Vietnam
PHO SEASON INC.
It was our longstanding mission to develop and produce quality rice noodles to replace imported
rice noodles made with old rice, which were used by most brands in the market.
To this end, we established Pho Season, our local rice noodle production facility in Vietnam, in 2015,
based on our corporate philosophy "offering healthy food made with fresh ingredients".
Pho Season is a combination of "pho" (meaning "rice noodle soup") and seasoning, representing our motto to
manufacture the finest-quality products that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons.
Pho Season has received HACCP and ISO 22000 certification
in recognition of its meticulous adherence to the highest food safety standards in every aspect of its business
from facility infrastructure and hygiene to employee training.
The safe and hygienic production of its herb bags and rice noodles made of newly harvested rice
has been internationally recognized.
Pho Season manufactures broth-seasoning herb sachets packed with nine different natural herbs and rice noodles
made with newly harvested rice developed with our exclusive technology.
We are the nation's only Vietnamese rice noodle soup franchise brand equipped with a rice noodle production facility
and capable of manufacturing rice noodles made with newly harvested rice, successfully enhancing our brand value.
Fresh New Harvest Rice Noodles created
with our exclusive technology
Pho Season succeeded in developing rice noodles made with newly harvested rice,
tailored to suit the preferences of food lovers in Korea, based on fresh ingredients,
new harvest rice noodle production equipment designed in-house,
and our state-of-the-art production process achieved through years of R&D.
A considerable amount of time and research expenses were invested to develop
the engineering technology necessary to realize the pleasantly chewy texture of the noodles,
which is hard to achieve with newly harvested crops.
The Fresh New Harvest Rice Noodle manufacturing technology, perfected through hundreds of rounds of
testing to achieve the optimal color, fragrance, and glutinosity determined by the smallest changes
in timing and temperature for maturation, well reflects our passion and dedication.
PhoMein and PhoMein RED are Korea’s only pho franchises that produce and use HACCP-certified rice noodles
in the domestic pho market that is heavily dependent on imported rice noodles,
in which the origin of the ingredients and manufacturing processes involved are largely unknown.
The differentiated strengths of PhoMein enabled by Pho Season will set new standards not only in the domestic market but also in the global market.
The nation's first and only
brand to produce and use
rice noodles made with
newly harvested rice
We source the freshest newly harvested rice all year round
from the Mekong Delta, Vietnam's largest rice-farming region that
can support three crops per year, to produce Fresh New Harvest Rice Noodles.
PhoMein New Harvest Rice Noodles boast the fresh and clean flavor
and fragrance unmatched with existing imported rice noodles
and
please the palate of even the most discerning food lovers.
Herb sachets packed with
nine different finest-quality
herbs to season the broth
Each herb sachet, exclusively developed and produced by Pho Season,
contains nine different carefully selected finest-quality herbs,
from
star anise to coriander seeds, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
The herbs in the sachet work to add layers of profound flavors to the broth,
while also enhancing immunity and keeping the cold at bay. Star anise,
in particular,
is widely known as an active ingredient of Tamiflu,
a medication used to prevent influenza A and influenza B.
Rigorous and Transparent
Manufacturing Process
HACCP · ISO 22000 Certified
Pho Season has received HACCP and ISO 22000 certification
in recognition of its meticulous adherence to the highest food
safety standards in every aspect of its business
from facility infrastructure and hygiene to employee training.
Both certifications, which are hard to come by in Southeast Asian
rice noodle manufacturing facilities, formally demonstrate
Pho Season’s safe and hygienic management of the production
of its herb bags and rice noodles made of newly harvested rice.
Ensuring a rigorous and transparent manufacturing process
to make healthy food that is safe for our customers to consume
is the road that PhoMein has taken and continues to follow.
