Samyang Foods has been recognized for its product quality by winning multiple Superior Taste Awards at a global food competition.

On June 8, Samyang Foods announced that its 'Tangle Garlic Shrimp Protein Pasta,' 'Tangle Basil Tomato Protein Pasta,' 'Tangle Garlic Oil Pasta,' and its ramen brand 'Samyang1963' received the Superior Taste Award at the 2026 International Taste Institute competition.

The International Taste Institute, based in Brussels, Belgium, organizes the event where chefs and sommeliers from around the world evaluate products' taste, aroma, and texture through a blind tasting process to select award winners.

With this recognition, all products under the Tangle brand have now received the Superior Taste Award. Following last year's awards for 'Tangle Mushroom Cream Pasta' and 'Tangle Bulgogi Alfredo Pasta,' three additional products were honored this year, bringing the total to five award-winning items on the international stage.

Tangle is a pasta brand based on dried noodles. Since its launch in 2025, it has entered global retail channels, including Walmart, Kroger, Target, and Aldi in the U.S., as well as Lawson Natural in Japan, reaching over 50 countries. The brand features a patented method of cooking and drying the noodles to achieve a texture similar to fresh pasta, and it incorporates chickpeas to enhance protein and dietary fiber content.

The award-winning 'Samyang1963' utilizes Samyang Foods' unique frying technology. It enhances the flavor of the ingredients using liquid and powdered soup bases to create a rich broth.

A representative from Samyang Foods stated, "With the recognition of all Tangle products and Samyang1963, we have once again confirmed our product competitiveness. We will continue to introduce products that meet the diverse demands of global consumers based on our differentiated technology and research and development capabilities."
