This certification is for the record of the highest sales of a single brand in the cream bread category, with 320 million units sold over 10 years (January 1, 2013 ? December 31, 2022). The company explained that if the 'Jeongtong Cream Bread' sold over 10 years were laid end to end, it would measure approximately 37,042 km, which is equivalent to traveling Mount Everest (8,848 m) 2,093 times back and forth.

Jeongtong Cream Bread was the first in the domestic baking industry to introduce vinyl packaging technology in 1964. It contains soft cream that melts gently in the mouth inside bread with tiny holes.

An SPC Samlip branding official stated, "Jeongtong Cream Bread, loved by consumers for 60 years, is undoubtedly one of SPC Samlip's representative steady sellers, and this record certification will be an opportunity to promote it as Korea's representative national bread."

Meanwhile, the Korea Records Institute certifies Korea's outstanding records as official top records of the KRI Korea Records Institute and requests certification reviews on behalf of challengers to overseas record certification organizations such as the World Records Committee (WRC).
