Brand Story
Tracing its roots to the Guangqixiang Canned Food Factory founded in 1893 (the 19th year of Guangxu's reign), Guangzhou Eagle Coin Food Group is one of China's earliest canned food enterprises. Its founders, including industrialist Liang Peiji, introduced Western canning technology and combined it with Lingnan ingredients to create classics like dace with fermented black beans. After public-private partnership in 1956, the enterprise was renamed Guangdong Canned Food Factory, and in 1984 it registered the 'Eagle Coin' trademark, becoming a core brand under Guangzhou Light Industry Group. Over a century, Eagle Coin has witnessed Guangzhou's modern industrial development, with its products sold overseas, serving as a nostalgic taste symbol for overseas Chinese and an indispensable seasoning in Cantonese cuisine.
“Eagle Coin, delicious for a century.”

Cultural Note
The craftsmanship of Eagle Coin canned food integrates traditional Lingnan food processing wisdom, especially the pickling and seasoning of dace with fermented black beans, emphasizing 'fermented bean aroma penetrating the bones, fish fresh without fishiness.' The production process includes fish selection, curing, seasoning, canning, sealing, and high-temperature sterilization, preserving traditional flavors while meeting modern food safety standards.
