Nongshim said on the 25th that it will donate 12,000 Emergency Food packs worth a total of 300 million won over the year.

According to Nongshim, on the 24th it held a "2026 Emergency Food pack project kickoff ceremony" at its headquarters in Dongjak District, Seoul, together with the Korea National Council on Social Welfare National Food Bank. At the ceremony, Nongshim said it would donate food packs worth 300 million won. Some of them will be provided as emergency support to disaster victims and firefighting officials struggling after recent wildfires in the South Gyeongsang region.

Launched in 2020 and now in its seventh year, the Emergency Food pack is a social contribution program in which Nongshim provides ready-to-eat food to vulnerable people in disaster situations or in blind spots of public assistance. To be useful in emergencies, it is composed of Nongshim's flagship ramyun and snacks, including Shin Ramyun and Shrimp Cracker, as well as Baeksansu.

A Nongshim official said, "We are pleased that, through the Emergency Food pack project, we can once again offer warm comfort to neighbors in need this year," adding, "We will continue to take the lead in activities that share love while looking after the underprivileged."
