Opened new market opportunities in the food service sector
Dian Xiao Er is a well-known F&B brand in Singapore, celebrated for its traditional herbal roast duck and signature condiments. With a growing presence in the food service industry, the company is constantly exploring ways to maintain product quality while expanding its reach to new markets.
In the highly competitive food industry, product shelf life plays a vital role in ensuring supply chain efficiency, minimising food waste, and maintaining customer satisfaction. For a popular product like chilli sauce, limited shelf life and refrigeration requirements can hinder distribution and add logistical challenges—particularly for food service partners with tight operational constraints.
FIRC partnered with Dian Xiao Er to optimise the formulation of its chilli sauce, with the goal of extending its shelf life while preserving taste and freshness. The new formulation reduced the need for refrigeration, offering consumers greater convenience and enabling the product to be distributed more widely across food service channels.
This innovation supports more sustainable food practices and gives Dian Xiao Er a competitive edge in meeting evolving consumer expectations.
By providing the tools and technical expertise to enhance product stability, FIRC is helping local food brands like Dian Xiao Er bring high-quality, longer-lasting products to market.
FIRC looks forward to deepening its collaboration with Dian Xiao Er and continuing to support the development of food solutions that are both consumer-friendly and commercially viable.
