OTOKI said on the 28th that it has released "LIGHT&JOY reduced-sodium doenjang-jjigae and Kimchi-jjigae (Kimchi stew)," which lowers sodium content by up to 35%.
OTOKI released low-sodium products centered on stews, which account for a high share of Koreans' sodium intake, balancing taste and nutrition.
The new products are characterized by lower sodium content compared with the company's existing products. "LIGHT&JOY reduced-sodium doenjang-jjigae" cuts sodium by about 25% compared with "Mapo-style brisket doenjang-jjigae," and "LIGHT&JOY reduced-sodium Kimchi-jjigae (Kimchi stew)" reduces sodium by about 35% compared with "Jeju-style black pork kimchi-jjigae," respectively.
An OTOKI official said, "In line with the consumer trend of considering health and taste at the same time, we have introduced products that lower the sodium burden while preserving flavor," and added, "We plan to continue expanding our lineup of health-oriented products, including low-sodium options."
