The Plant-Based Jigu Diet Luncheon Meat is a product that embodies Pulmuone Jigu Diet's direction of "making everyday meals plant-based" by creating a plant-based canned ham, a side dish preferred by consumers. Since its debut in December 2022, sales in the second half of last year increased by 145% compared to the first half, and it ranked among the top-selling products in some stores, competing with regular canned ham products.

Pulmuone confirmed that consumer demand for plant-based canned ham is considerable and plans to continue promoting canned ham products enjoyed in a plant-based way. In April, the company strengthened its plant-based canned ham lineup by launching the 'Luncheon Meat Garlic Flavor.' Additionally, the products have obtained vegan certification and environmental product declarations, aiming to spread the value of sustainability.

Lee Jin-ho, Product Manager of the Jigu Diet Business Division at Pulmuone Foods, stated, "Pulmuone Jigu Diet will continue to achieve meaningful results in the alternative food market, including plant-based canned ham."
