I-Mei Foods (Chinese: 義美食品) is a Taiwanese food company founded in 1934.[2] It is a well-known consumer brand in Taiwan[3] and a major milk processor.[4]
I-Mei was founded as a traditional Taiwanese confectionery specializing in pineapple cakes and mung bean cakes. After World War II, I-Mei expanded into the dairy industry. In the mid-1980s, it began supplying buns and dairy products to fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and MOS Burger.[5]
In May 2019, Costco Taiwan pulled I-Mei brand fresh milk from the shelves after a few consumers on social media questioned the freshness of the milk.[6] Milk products were returned to shelves after testing by the Health Department of Taoyuan City indicated that there was nothing off with the products.[7]
In 2019, I-Mei celebrated its 85th birthday.[8]
I-Mei Gourmet Supplier (義美吉盛) operates food courts in Taiwan. They operate three food courts in Taoyuan International Airport. As of 2019, Luis Ko (高志明) is the Chairman of I-Mei Gourmet Supplier.[1]
