Exploring New Markets with Halal-Certified Probiotics and Advanced Coating Technology
ILDONG Bioscience, a subsidiary of Ildong Pharmaceutical Group, announced on September 9th that it participated in the Food Ingredients Asia Indonesia trade show to promote its functional materials, including probiotics, and explore business opportunities.
Held from September 4th to 6th in Jakarta, Indonesia, the event attracted over 400 companies from 60 countries, showcasing raw materials, finished products, and new technologies in food, beverages, and dietary supplements.
At the event, ILDONG Bioscience highlighted its functional ingredients and products related to probiotics, postbiotics, and its proprietary four-layer coating technology. In addition to product presentations, the company engaged in partnering meetings with several businesses to explore potential collaborations.
Of particular interest were ILDONG’s probiotic ingredients, which have received halal certification from Indonesia’s LPPOM MUI (Assessment Institute for Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics) and GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) certification in the U.S. Over 20 types of functional probiotics garnered significant attention from attendees.
A representative from ILDONG Bioscience emphasized the strategic importance of Indonesia, noting, "As the world’s fourth most populous country and the largest halal market globally, Indonesia offers immense potential. We are focusing on finding local partners to effectively enter this and neighboring Southeast Asian markets."
The representative further noted, "Considering the region’s hot and humid climate and the cultural prominence of Islam, we plan to leverage our unique technologies, such as our four-layer coating method and halal-certified ingredients, to gain a competitive edge in local marketing efforts."
ILDONG Bioscience was established in 2016 following a corporate spin-off from Ildong Pharmaceutical. The company specializes in developing functional ingredients and products using probiotics, as well as offering OEM, ODM, and raw material supply services.
