How about red plum monosodium glutamate Brand introduction

Hongmei monosodium glutamate is one of the drafting units of the national standard for monosodium glutamate. Founded in 1939, it is the most familiar MSG brand in Shenyang, carrying the memories of several generations. It is the earliest enterprise to produce monosodium glutamate in China, and it is also the first "China well-known trademark" in the monosodium glutamate industry, filling the gap that there is no well-known trademark in Northeast China, and its strength can be seen in that year.
 
If the monosodium glutamate industry, which is in a disgrace and downturn, is a boulder that crushes Hongmei, then the general environment of the economic collapse of Northeast China has cut off the wings of Hongmei to take off again.
 
In the past ten years, despite its resounding name, there has been a hidden crisis within Hongmei. After many industry rectifications, Hongmei was finally overwhelmed and filed for bankruptcy in 2012, and was ruled bankrupt two years later. Hongmei monosodium glutamate was once a good product for Shenyang people to give to relatives and friends, because it left a lot of memories for a generation, and it was once on Weibo hot search when it went bankrupt.
 
Fortunately, the "Hongmei" brand did not die, but was bought by Huanyu Group, and the new life was Shenyang Hongmei Food Co., Ltd. Huanyu has always been the main supplier of raw materials for the production of Hongmei monosodium glutamate, and the acquisition of Hongmei is intended to enter the downstream of the industrial chain.
 
Reality is always skinny. Hongmei did not take off because it became a private enterprise, but continued to rise and fall in the industry. At that time, Fufeng, Meihua and other enterprises have already gained a firm foothold, Fufeng ranked first in the country with a production capacity advantage of 1.05 million tons, 500,000 tons of plum blossoms ranked second, and Hongmei only had a production capacity of 30,000 tons, the gap is self-evident.
 
Hongmei brand monosodium glutamate only 99% monosodium glutamate, according to the packaging is divided into ordinary and gold, the gold design is more high-end, the pour outlet design is quite chic, can be screwed open, used up and tightened. The price is also 2 yuan higher than that of ordinary packs, and the price of 370g is 11 yuan.
 
Its instant monosodium glutamate is not in powder form, but is made of small crystal particles, which is easy to dissolve, and is suitable for cold dressing and other cooking methods. The price of 400g is 8 yuan, which is similar to the price of the classic red plum monosodium glutamate.
