According to Nutifood CEO Tran Thi Le, the company had to meet over 250 strict criteria from Walmart, including those relating to material quality and production processes, transportation security, human resources policies, and social responsibility.
The success has helped Nutifood gain better access to China’s 1 billion people, who collectively consume up to 15 billion liters of soymilk each year - the highest worldwide.
In addition to the Chinese market, Nutifood’s products are also on the shelves of Walmart stores in the US. Its Pedia Plus milk products were given the green light by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2018.
The company then entered into a partnership to build a dairy plant in Sweden producing organic goods.
