Wei-Chuan USA is a company that makes Chinese food products. It was started in 1972 by its original parent company, Wei Chuan Food Corporation, from Taiwan.
The company's logo has five red circles. These circles stand for the five main tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Umami is a savory taste, often found in foods like mushrooms or soy sauce.
In 1998, Wei-Chuan USA changed ownership. Its parent company, Wei Chuan, sold Wei-Chuan USA to Hotai Motor. At the same time, Wei Chuan itself was sold to another group called Ting Hsin International Group.
