Nissin Foods

Pride Month is a reminder of the importance of inclusion, acceptance, and love. At Nissin Foods, we embrace different perspectives and experiences, which ultimately make our workplaces stronger and more dynamic. We remain steadfast in our commitment to creating environments where everyone can be their authentic selves. Join us in celebrating Pride Month, a time to amplify and support LGBTQ+ voices. This support is not limited to June but extends throughout the year.  

This Memorial Day weekend, we at Nissin Foods would like to take a moment to remember and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We wish everyone a reflective and peaceful Memorial Day.

Did you know? Our Lancaster manufacturing plant (established in 1978) is home to over 80 cherry blossom trees that were introduced by our founder's wife, Masako Ando. These trees represent the heritage and connection we have to our roots as a Japanese company. During the first week of April, we were honored to have Japanese Ambassador Mikio Mori visit our Lancaster plant to experience the first blossoms on the property. Check out some of the amazing photos below!

As brand innovators in the ramen category, we're always looking for ways to push the envelope for our brands. That's why we're excited to announce that we are launching a limited-edition Cup Noodles flavor: Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese! We've combined the most popular bagel choice with the iconic, on-the-go ramen noodles for a convenient twist on everyone's favorite morning meal. Cup Noodles Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese is available exclusively at Walmart Stores beginning next week, alongside Cup Noodles Breakfast that has returned to shelves for a limited time.

On any given day in Times Square, a visitor can sit for a street artist portrait, get his name printed on an M&M, watch the Naked Cowboy playing his guitar and run from a marauding band of Elmos. With excitement like that on offer, how many visitors notice the billboards? Hard to say, but the odds are good that tourists will take note of an ad that debuted last week. It’s the one with a cup of soup boogieing inside of a three-story tall microwave oven. This is how Nissin Foods has elected to drop its marketing dollars to advertise an innovation half a century in the making, Cup Noodles' new paper cup. https://adweek.it/4awQtZ3

This week, Cup Noodles debuted a public service announcement (PSA) starring actor and comedian Craig Robinson that takes a comical and exaggerated look at the ramen cooking habit we all suspected – microwaving Cup Noodles. The PSA encourages fans to share their own #PaperCupConfessions now that they can conveniently prepare their noodles in the microwave. This packaging change to paper cup marks a significant milestone for Cup Noodles since its introduction to the U.S. market in 1973. The new paper cup is polystyrene-free and delivers even more convenience for our consumer fanbase as it is now microwavable.   Check out the press release and our PSA video below! https://lnkd.in/dK88Xs7z

"I think of food as my calling." — Momofuku Ando. Today, we celebrate our founder, Momofuku Ando's birthday. From seeing the need to feed the world to bring peace and being the creator of instant ramen to growing Nissin Foods into a global brand today, we owe it all to the person with a passion for invention.

Last December, Nissin Foods celebrated the launch of Hot & Spicy FIRE WOK packets by partnering with FDNY Foundation, the official non-profit organization of New York City’s firefighters to help drive donations for Feeding America.    We hosted a culinary showdown at the New York City Fire Museum where firefighters from each New York borough duked it out to see who was the most creative cook using Hot & Spicy FIRE WOK Teriyaki Chicken or Screamin' Sichuan Beef products.    Check out the press release and the video below for a recap!  https://lnkd.in/gSs4C3_2
