As an ocean food supplier specializing in the entire kelp industry chain, Yida Food’s exhibits this time are highly compatible with hot pot dining scenarios. Among them, the star product—the “Dongluodao” Kelp seedlings series—stands out particularly. With a vividly vibrant green color and a crisp, refreshing texture that takes just 8 seconds to cook, these kelp seedlings are dubbed the “sea’s umami” in the vegetarian cuisine world. They blend seamlessly into both clear broth and spicy hot pots, and can also be used in a variety of other dishes such as soups, grilled fish, and cold salads. In addition, the ready-to-eat leisure series is equally impressive, featuring a diverse range of products including spicy kelp knots, braised bamboo shoots in sauce, and plain jellyfish heads. What’s more, these snacks come in multiple flavors to suit different tastes, and are ready to eat right out of the package, ensuring fresh flavor at any time. Meanwhile, the company also offers professional OEM manufacturing services, precisely meeting the customized needs of various partners.
From source to finished product, "Dongluodao" Kelp seedlings have established a full-chain quality assurance system: sourced from Lianjiang, the "Hometown of Chinese Kelp," and leveraging its uniquely advantageous natural marine environment, the brand firmly establishes a strong quality foundation at the very beginning of the supply chain. Relying on its own 3,000-mu aquaculture base and modern processing facilities, "Dongluodao" ensures end-to-end traceability—from marine cultivation all the way through factory processing. Its products have obtained triple safety certifications—Green Food, Organic Food, and HACCP—thus building a robust and authoritative safety defense. Moreover, "Dongluodao" has been recognized as a "Fujian Famous Agricultural Product," earning high market recognition. At the same time, with the technical support of Academician Zhu Beiwei's team, "Dongluodao" continues to promote the high-value development of kelp, empowering product upgrades through technology.

On the first day of the expo, the Yida Food booth was bustling with visitors. Guests kept coming one after another to sample the products, enthusiastically praising their unique texture and savory flavor. Even more noteworthy is that at the concurrently held 8th Hot Pot Best-Selling Ingredient Selection Event, Yida Food’s frozen Kelp seedlings were successfully selected as one of the “Top 50 Hot Pot Ingredients,” earning official and authoritative certification from the event organizers for their exceptional quality.
