SANC FAQ

What does Non-GMO soybeans mean?

Accordion toggle
Non-GMO refers to ingredients that do not contain genetically modified organisms.
GMO refers to genetically modified foods, and may potentially disrupt the ecological balance of plant life.

Sengmyongmul Soy Sauce and Sengmyongmul Tofu are made using 100% non-GMO soybeans that have passed more than 100 quality tests.
Why aren’t Korean soybeans used?

Accordion toggle
Soybeans make up the majority of production costs, but the supply rate of Korean soybeans is less than 5%, and their price is more than four times higher than that of imported soybeans.

If this cost were fully reflected in the product price, items like soy sauce or soybean paste would exceed KRW 7,000 per kilogram.

SANC uses imported soybeans that are non-GMO grade A, carefully selected to ensure only clean, high-quality beans are used.
