Sardines are one of  \nthe most nutritionally dense foods we can consume.  \nAs it celebrates 50 years anniversary, Mega Prime Foods is making sure to keep the nutritional  \nWe’ve always aimed for the best possible quality. Our fish go from sea to can in just 12 hours, compared to the industry’s usual 1–3 days. That freshness is our edge.”  \nWilliam Tiu Lim  \nvalue fresh and preserved, in every sardine package.  \nMega Prime Foods Chairman and founder William Tiu Lim has been in the sardine industry for 50 years, founding Mega as initially a fishing company. In speaking to Tiu Lim, it is clear there isn’t a situation or experience this exceptional man hasn’t been through.  \nMega stood the test of time when many of their fishing vessels were destroyed by a typhoon in the 1970’s. Over the 5 decades, it wasn’t only natural disasters that  \nchallenged the company. It was political turmoil, currency devaluation, and every challenge imaginable. But Mega always survived; and came back thriving.  \nTiu Lim never forgot three things in leading Mega Sardines throughout the years: Quality, Innovation, and Malasakit which is a uniquely Filipino word that means absolute selfless concerns for others; more than compassion or empathy. It’s an admirable corporate value that is rare in today’s profit-driven world, and sets Mega apart from the crowd.  \n“We’ve always aimed for the best possible quality. Our fish go from sea to can in just 12 hours, compared to the industry’s usual 1–3 days. That freshness is our edge.”, Tiu Lim said.  \nThe company has factories in port cities of Batangas and Zamboanga, both capable of producing 3 million cans of sardines daily. To ensure efficiency and quality, they invest heavily in modern technology, new fishing boats, and advanced packing machines every year.  \nIt is a by-product of the company’s continual push for innovations that led to Mega Sardines being recently lauded by the highly respected US-based association—The Medical Wellness Association (MWA)—being designated as a “Superfood”, the first-ever seafood product to be given this designation.  \nMWA founding board member and faculty member James Michael Lafferty formally awarded the recognition of approval last month.  \n“I was honored to be present at the 50th anniversary celebration, and to share the amazing news of Mega Sardines becoming the first-ever brand to be granted the designation of the The Medical Wellness Association International as a “Superfood,” Lafferty said.  \nAs it crosses the 50 year mark, Mega Prime Foods is now entering the second generation of leadership, headed by President and CEO Michelle Tiu Lim-Chan. Whilst Ms. Tiu Lim-Chan hasher eyes firmly focused on expanding the business to be a truly global brand, she doesn’t stray from the foundations that made Mega a success.  \n“Our company’s top priorities is serving our consumers and customers, and serving our employees who are the backbone of our success. It starts and finishes, always, with people.
