CiCook's seasoning manufacturing facility meets FDA and ISO 22000 standards, supporting exports to the US, EU, and global markets. Its end-to-end ODM/OEM service covers R&D, production, and packaging, enabling businesses to build private-label products with consistent quality.

Cicook Joint Stock Company is one of Vietnam's leading OEM/ODM seasoning manufacturers for export. Our production network operates four manufacturing facilities registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and certified to ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP standards.

We provide comprehensive end-to-end solutions, including customized flavor R&D for international markets, commercial manufacturing, advanced laboratory testing, and complete regulatory and export documentation support, enabling Vietnamese seasonings and sauces to successfully enter demanding markets such as the United States, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea.

Exporting seasonings and ready-to-use sauces presents tremendous business opportunities, but it also requires strict compliance with international food safety regulations. Common reasons why export shipments are delayed or rejected include excessive preservative residues, unauthorized food colorings, and manufacturing facilities that do not meet FDA requirements.

Cicook was established to provide exporters with a reliable technical and regulatory foundation for international success.

1. Core Technical Standards at Cicook's Export Manufacturing Facilities

To ensure every export shipment meets international border inspection requirements, Cicook maintains rigorous production standards.

No Harmful Artificial Food Coloring

Instead of synthetic color additives, our R&D laboratory utilizes natural colors extracted from Vietnamese agricultural products, including:

  • Natural red from ripe bird's eye chili

  • Natural yellow from fresh turmeric

  • Natural green from wild green chili

This approach helps preserve authentic appearance while complying with international food safety expectations.

Strict Water Activity (aw) Control

Using advanced processing technology, Cicook carefully controls water activity (aw) at optimal levels to inhibit bacterial and mold growth naturally, significantly reducing dependence on chemical preservatives.

International Standard Sample Retention Laboratory

Every export batch is retained as a reference sample under internationally recognized laboratory procedures, ensuring complete traceability whenever overseas regulatory authorities require product verification.

2. Comprehensive Export Regulatory Support

Cicook goes beyond manufacturing by providing complete regulatory assistance throughout the export process.
