Duy Phát Whiteleg Shrimp – Clean, Delicious, and Safe for Your Health

What is whiteleg shrimp? Why is it so popular?

Whiteleg shrimp (also known as Pacific white shrimp; scientific name: Litopenaeus vannamei) is one of the most widely farmed shrimp species in Vietnam and worldwide. With its rapid growth, high adaptability, and exceptional nutritional value, whiteleg shrimp has become a top choice among consumers and upscale restaurants.

Not only is it delicious, but Duy Phát whiteleg shrimp is also raised in a closed-loop system that ensures biosecurity, uses no antibiotics, and provides transparent traceability. This distinction helps Duy Phát’s products succeed in both domestic and international markets.


Outstanding characteristics of Duy Phát whiteleg shrimp

1. Raised in a strictly controlled environment

Duy Phát whiteleg shrimp is raised at modern farms in Hiệp Phước Commune, Ho Chi Minh City, where the water is clean and unpolluted. Each pond is equipped with a 24/7 IoT monitoring system that controls the following parameters:

  • Water temperature: 26-30°C (optimal for shrimp growth)
  • pH: 7.5-8.5 (ensures a stable aquatic environment)
  • Dissolved oxygen: >5 mg/L (supports healthy shrimp growth)
  • Salinity: 10-25‰ (suitable for whiteleg shrimp physiology)

By applying controlled intensive farming technology, Duy Phát ensures that every shrimp grows consistently, reaches the standard size, and maintains stable quality.

2. SPF shrimp stock selection – Pathogen-free

One of the most important factors determining shrimp quality is the seed stock. Duy Phát uses only shrimp stock certified as SPF (Specific Pathogen Free), meaning it is free from dangerous pathogens such as:

  • White spot syndrome virus (WSSV)
  • Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND)
  • Yellow head virus (YHV)

All shrimp stock undergoes PCR testing before being introduced into the ponds, ensuring a high survival rate (>95%) and minimizing disease risks.

3. Firm, sweet meat and thin shells – Easy to prepare

Duy Phát whiteleg shrimp has the following outstanding characteristics:

✅ Firm, springy meat: Raised in clean water, the shrimp grows naturally, producing firm meat that is not mushy

✅ Naturally sweet flavor: No growth-promoting chemicals are used, allowing the shrimp to retain its distinctive mild sweetness

✅ Thin, easy-to-peel shells: Saves preparation time and makes cooking more convenient

✅ Various sizes: From 20-30 shrimp/kg (large, suitable for grilling and steaming), 30-40 shrimp/kg (medium, suitable for frying and stir-frying), to 40-60 shrimp/kg (small, suitable for soups and hot pots)

4. Raised without antibiotics – 100% safe

This is Duy Phát’s strongest commitment to its customers. 100% of our whiteleg shrimp is raised WITHOUT ANTIBIOTICS or prohibited substances.

Instead, Duy Phát applies biological disease-prevention measures:

  • Adding probiotics (beneficial bacteria) to pond water
  • Using probiotics in feed
  • Increasing vitamins and minerals to strengthen disease resistance
  • Strictly managing water quality

Before sale, every batch of shrimp is tested for antibiotic residues by reputable laboratories such as NAFIQAD and the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Food Safety and Hygiene Testing. Results consistently show 0% antibiotic residue, ensuring absolute safety for consumers.

5. QR code traceability – 100% transparency

Every package of Duy Phát whiteleg shrimp carries a QR code for traceability. By simply scanning the code with a phone, customers can immediately view:

📍 Farming pond: Pond name and specific location

📅 Stocking date: When farming began

📅 Harvest date: Date of harvest

👨‍🌾 Technician in charge: The person directly responsible for caring for the shrimp

📋 Certificates: Quality inspection results

📸 Actual images: Farming and harvesting processes

This system gives customers complete confidence in the product’s origin while demonstrating Duy Phát’s transparency and responsibility toward consumers.


Exceptional nutritional value of whiteleg shrimp
