Altist

Altist (알티스트, corporate name (주) 알티스트) is a South Korean consumer food company that operates an online store at altist.com selling packaged foods organised around ingredient-substitution categories. Its catalogue is grouped into lines branded "설탕대신" (instead of sugar), "밀가루대신" (instead of flour), "소금대신" (instead of salt) and "고기대신" (instead of meat), alongside convenience meals (간편식), oils and butter, and beverages, teas and jams. Products include stevia and allulose sweeteners, low-calorie allulose syrups, jams and spreads, low-sugar sauces such as ketchup and honey mustard, gluten-free flours such as tapioca starch and almond powder, bamboo salt (죽염), oat ball meal replacements sold under the "한끼대신" line, plant-based items including vegan short rib, tteokgalbi, chicken nuggets and squid rings, and imported olive, avocado and ghee oils under brands including 브로슈낭 and Raphael Salgado.

The site lists 42 registered products in its main store category and also maintains a business-only (사업자전용) and employee-only section, community boards for notices, reviews, inquiries, recipes and events, a partnership inquiry channel, and a recipe board showing how to cook with its plant-based and sweetener products. Retail prices are quoted in Korean won, typically from about 4,580 won for small gluten-free packs to about 72,900 won for imported extra virgin olive oil.

Business model

Altist sells branded and imported packaged food products direct to consumers through its own e-commerce site, supported by member registration, coupons, points (적립금) and gift wrapping. It additionally offers a business-only product section and a partnership inquiry channel, and handles bulk-purchase requests through its customer centre.

Revenue comes from online retail sales of packaged food products at listed won prices, including multipacks and gift sets, with wholesale/bulk orders handled via customer service.

Traction

The storefront lists 42 registered products in its main category and carries customer reviews dated from 2024 through 2026, largely originating from Naver Pay purchases and covering delivery speed and product satisfaction, including at least one complaint about an incorrect shipment to which the company publicly responded.
