Blue Dragon Instant Miso Soup

Blue Dragon Instant Miso Soup — origin, manufacturing and ownership

Blue Dragon Instant Miso Soup is an instant miso soup product sold under the Blue Dragon brand. The pack format typically contains individual sachets of miso paste plus separate garnish sachets (seaweed/wakame and spring onion) and is commonly sold as a multi‑serving box (the pictured box indicates 5 servings).

Blue Dragon is a British-origin brand that began in the UK in the 1970s to bring authentic Asian ingredients to western shoppers. The brand is managed by AB World Foods Ltd, which is part of the Associated British Foods plc group. Associated British Foods (ABF) is the ultimate owner and is a UK-headquartered multinational food and ingredients company listed on the FTSE 100.

Manufacturing for Blue Dragon products (including instant miso soup) is carried out in several countries depending on the SKU and the market: AB World Foods operates or contracts production across multiple locations (examples include sites in Thailand, Poland and others), and some Blue Dragon products have historically been sourced or made in countries across Asia (e.g., Thailand, South Korea) or produced at local facilities for specific markets. Because production location varies by product batch and regional supply chain, the miso soup line should be treated as manufactured in multiple countries; the specific "made in" country will be listed on the individual package/sachet for each retail SKU.

In short: the product is Blue Dragon Instant Miso Soup (instant miso soup mix). The brand originated in the United Kingdom, is managed by AB World Foods Ltd, and is ultimately owned by Associated British Foods plc (UK). Manufacturing is regionally distributed across multiple countries depending on the SKU and market.
