Transitioning Our Rice Ramen to Thailand

We’re excited to share some news about our Rice Ramen! To keep bringing you the highest quality ramen at a fair price, we’ve transitioned production from China to Thailand.

This change helps us avoid high import tariffs that would have increased prices, while also allowing us to deepen our positive impact on smallholder rice farmers and the environment. Our new Thai partners share our commitment to organic farming and sustainable rice cultivation.

What You Might Notice

You may notice a few subtle differences in the new ramen cakes, but they’re still made with the same simple ingredients you know and love. Any variation in appearance or texture is simply due to Thai-grown organic rice and slightly different noodle-making equipment. For the best results, be sure to follow the updated cooking instructions on the package (detailed below).
