👉How we pack kimchi
Kimchi is double-wrapped in a secure plastic bag and packed with FDA-approved dry ice packs inside a chiller box to ensure freshness.
Don't worry 😉
Kimchi is shipped via regular couriers without cold freight, but it won’t spoil during delivery because it is a naturally fermented food.
You may notice the plastic bag swelling or bubbles forming in the jar – this is completely normal. During fermentation, beneficial lactic acid bacteria consume natural sugars in the vegetables and release carbon dioxide, which causes the bloating.
