The new Micvac microwave pasteurization line is installed in one of Daesang’s factories that is dedicated to producing high-quality ready meals. The brand Whistling Cook is distributed nationwide through both retail and Internet channels.

The range of chilled ready meals consists of six products in 240-, 390-, and 395-g sizes. The recipes are influenced by cuisine from various parts of the world, such as Korea, China, and Europe.

“We are very happy about this project, and it’s exciting to see how well the products are accepted by the consumers,” says Myounghyun Seo, MV-Project team leader at Daesang Corp.
