I-Mei Foods (Chinese: 義美食品) is a Taiwanese food company founded in 1934. It is a well-known consumer brand in Taiwan and a major milk processor. I-Mei Foods Co was the top fast-moving consumer goods brand in Taiwan for 2022, its 9th consecutive year number one, with 90% of Taiwanese households having purchased an I-Mei product, according to a 2023 study by Kantar Group.

History

I-Mei was founded as a traditional Taiwanese confectionery specializing in pineapple cakes and mung bean cakes. After World War II, I-Mei expanded into the dairy industry. In the mid-1980s, it began supplying buns and dairy products to fast food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, KFC and MOS Burger.

In May 2019, Costco Taiwan pulled I-Mei brand fresh milk from the shelves after a few consumers on social media questioned the freshness of the milk. Milk products were returned to shelves after testing by the Health Department of Taoyuan City indicated that there was nothing off with the products.

In 2019, I-Mei celebrated its 85th birthday.
