Synear Foods USA, a company dedicated to making authentic and delicious Asian cuisine accessible to everyone, announces the launch of its panda buns at select Costco locations across the country. Here just in time to celebrate Chinese New Year, each delectable, limited-edition panda bun is made with a soft dough using a traditional Chinese fermentation method and infused with a rich, smooth and creamy custard filling.  

Synear Foods has been a driving force in the growing demand for Asian flavors in the U.S. for the last decade. A leading producer of frozen Asian cuisine, the company is China’s largest exporter of frozen rice and noodle products, and the only Chinese brand to enter frozen shelves at Costco. 

As the desire for Asian cuisine rises in the U.S., Synear is committed to creating innovative and authentic products that meet consumer demand and uphold the highest standards.  

“Synear’s part in meeting the appetite for Asian cuisine is simple,” said Judy Zhu, CEO of Synear Foods USA. “We use traditional Chinese recipes that infuse quality, taste and authenticity with every bite, while also filling the gap for what consumers crave most: innovation. We’re constantly working to offer products that deliver the vibrant flavors of Asia directly to your home.” 

A convenient and delightful snack, the buns can be ready in a snap; steamed for 12 minutes or microwaved for one-two minutes. The mouthwatering custard-filled panda buns can be found in frozen sections of Costco stores starting at $13.99 in the Southeast, San Diego, Texas and Northwest regions, with additional regions to follow.  


About Synear Foods USA
Synear Foods USA was established in 2015 in Chatsworth, California as a subsidiary of Synear Foods, a premier frozen food company based in Zhengzhou, China since 1997. Dedicated to sharing authentic Asian flavors with American homes, Synear Foods USA distributes high-quality frozen products across the U.S. For almost a decade, Synear has remained committed to traditional recipes and consistent innovation, offering a range of delicious and convenient frozen dumplings for chefs of all levels. With a focus on premium ingredients and a passion for culinary excellence, Synear helps bring the vibrant flavors of Asia to dinner tables nationwide.
