Phans – Authentic flavours with a sustainable story

The story of the Phan family begins in Vietnam, where food and traditions go hand in hand. As two young refugees, they came to the Netherlands separately, where they brought their love of cooking and the flavours of home with them. With their cherished family recipes, they built a new life, with food as a bridge between the past and the future.

This is how Phans came into being: a product line that combines traditional Vietnamese flavours with Dutch creativity. From real fish sauces to tasty plant-based alternatives – Phans stands for pure flavour, quality and respect for nature.

Bycatch with a purpose
For the fish sauce, bycatch, such as rockfish, is used in a smart way. These are fish that are accidentally caught while fishing for other species. By not letting these fish go to waste, Phans helps prevent food waste, reduce the ecological footprint and support small fisheries. Inspired by Vietnamese cuisine, where none of the fish goes to waste, Phans creates a sustainable and delicious product.

The mission
Phans wants everyone to enjoy real flavours, made with attention to people, animals and nature. Food connects, tells stories and brings worlds together – that is exactly what you can taste in Phans products.
