GS25 provides practical meal plans for healthy eating at convenience stores through the official blog and social media channels of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS25 announced on the 28th that it will provide practical meal plans through the official blog of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) and social networking service (SNS) channels to help customers have healthy meals at convenience stores.

The convenience store practical meal plans are proposed for middle and high school students based on the nutritional management standards of school meals, and for adults according to the Korean Nutrient Intake Standards. They are categorized into hearty Korean meals, light snack foods, and simple Western meals, composed of various product combinations.

GS25 established standards such as sodium reduction, calorie reduction, sugar reduction, expansion of grilling cooking methods, and increased vegetable ingredients to provide consumers with balanced and healthy meals, focusing on developing products with high nutritional balance. Currently, it operates over 20 products made with reduced calories and sodium, such as low-calorie chicken steak lunch boxes and It My Bottle (chicken breast) salads.

Additionally, GS25 actively supports the Hope Meal Voucher support project conducted by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education. In particular, the ‘The Bigger Double Tteokgalbi Jeonju Bibim’ released on the 11th is a product developed in collaboration with nutritionist Kim Min-ji, famous for lobster meals, which doubles the side dish weight compared to regular triangular kimbap. GS25 plans to continuously communicate with the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education to release healthy and delicious products.

A GS25 official said, “We have joined forces with the MFDS to help the public enjoy healthy and balanced meals at nearby convenience stores,” adding, “We plan to continuously introduce nutritious products like a mother’s heart wanting to prepare nutritious food for her family.”
