NENIA WAY
NENIA, is a name crafted from the fusion of "Nature" and "Near".
We're dedicated to providing pure, natural, and safe food to ensure our children grow up healthy and vibrant.
We diligently curate and produce eco-friendly food products, made safely with ingredients nurtureed in our own fertile soils, like out wheat, ensuring minimal additives.
Nenia’s company identity (CI) expresses a deep reverence for the mystery of life, nature, and humanity. At its core lies the seed—a humble yet potent symbol of life. This seed meets the fingerprint of a hardworking farmer, embodying both the labor that nurtures it and a mark of authenticity—an emblem of ongoing communication with the natural world. The tireless efforts of those who sow seeds, cultivate crops, harvest, store, and transport them all begin from the faint, worn fingerprints of farmers. It is through these traces that we glimpse the intricate web of relations between humans and nature.
Nenia’s safely produced products are available through our official online store and various domestic eco-friendly retailers, both online and offline.
Through 32 regional business units and directly operated branches,
as well as local and joint meal support centers,
Nenia supplies eco-friendly and low-carbon foods to over 4,000 childcare centers, kindergartens, elementary, middle, and high schools, alternative schools, and military meal services across the country.
We develop our products based on a strict “Safe Food Production Principle.”
We stand firmly against foods filled with GMOs and artificial chemical additives.
Even amid an industry driven by profit, Nenia believes that food must remain centered on people.
The indiscriminate use of GMO ingredients, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides not only threatens our soil, but also accelerates the climate crisis—displacing countless communities worldwide.
For the sake of local producers, consumers, and future generations, Nenia has quietly forged an alternative path in agriculture.
By taking a leading role in the production, distribution, and consumption of clean agricultural products,
we’ve cultivated a foundation for a healthy ecosystem where humans and nature can thrive in mutual dependence—
a journey that continues to resonate deeply with our customers.
Throughout every step of our work, we remain unwavering in our principles.
We exclude chemically synthesized additives and genetically modified ingredients,
rely on locally grown eco-friendly produce,
and are wholly devoted to making food that is truly safe.
These guiding values—our “Safe Food Production Principle”—
have remained unchanged for over 20 years since the founding of our company,
and will remain so for the next hundred.
We are proud to be a catalyst for positive change.
Nenia offers a vital link that reconnects consumers to producers and to the natural world.
We share a vision of a society that honors the organic cycle of nature.
And we remain fully committed to leading the world toward a better future—with care and conviction.

Say no to uncertainty, we discard imported cornstarch, syrup, modified starch, soy protein, and liquid fructose. In our pursuit of purity, ingredients with even a hint of GMO presence are not welcome. Thos extends to compound ingredients, where potential GMO risks are bigilantly kept at bay.
Across all our ranges except whole wheat flour, white flour, and a few others, we prioritize the use of pesticide-free, organically certified domestic wheat.
In a world where many food manufacturers cut corners – prioritizing lower costs and easier distribution – NENIA takes a different path. NENIA thrives on crops harvested from our soil, steering clear of harmful chemical additives. Our focus is to create wholesome, natural foods, true to the way nature intended.
We believe in honesty, even when it comes to the smallest ingredients. Concealment is not our game, and we guarantee full disclosure
Except in times when Mother Nature makes it challenging, for annual harvests, we endeavor to use eco-friendly produce and antibiotic-free livestock.
With the exception of ingredients that cannot be produced domestically - such as sugar, pepper, chocolate, and herbs - we use locally grown Korean agricultural products for all our food.
When local supply becomes unstable, we travel worldwide, selecting only the best quality ingredients to bring back home.
We actively sponsor non-profit organizations, social foundations, and communities, embracing our role in the larger community.
