The update helps marketing and sales teams make faster decisions based on higher-quality email data and move campaigns forward with greater confidence.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., July 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ZeroBounce, the email validation company known for its 99.6% accuracy guarantee, today announced an update that allows customers to find out much faster whether many catch-all email addresses are valid.
The update applies to many business email addresses hosted on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and major secure email gateways (SEGs). Instead of requiring additional verification for many catch-all email addresses, ZeroBounce can now classify them as valid or invalid during the standard validation process.
Catch-all domains have long been one of the biggest sources of uncertainty in email validation. Because they can accept messages sent to email addresses that don't necessarily exist, marketers and sales teams often receive inconclusive results and need additional verification before deciding whether to email those contacts. Until now, that additional verification could take up to 48 hours.
The update allows ZeroBounce to determine the validity of many catch-all email addresses much sooner. As a result, fewer catch-all email addresses require additional verification, while customers continue to see whether the domain itself is configured as catch-all.
During internal production testing, the average number of Microsoft 365 email addresses returned as catch-all dropped by more than 99.98%, giving customers much clearer answers about whether an email address is valid or invalid.
"Our customers need accurate data, and they need it without unnecessary delays. The sooner they get reliable information about their email data, the faster they can move their business forward," said Liviu Tanase, founder and CEO of ZeroBounce. "Getting answers faster only matters if you can trust the results. Time is valuable, but so is confidence. Our goal is to give customers both."
The improvement is expected to have the greatest impact on organizations that work with B2B contact data, where Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace power a significant share of business email worldwide.
The update is available now to all ZeroBounce customers. Learn more at https://www.zerobounce.net/free-email-verifier/catch-all-emails.

- Udon Kaden's two signature dishes — Signature Udon and Chilled Udon — launch in the U.S.
- Available at H Mart, Jagalchi, Mega Mart and other retail partners, and online at Kurlyglobal.com
- Chef Jung Ho Young will host in-store tastings at four California stores on August 22–23
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Kurly, the premium Korean food company bringing the country's most-loved foods to American consumers, announced the U.S. launch of two frozen udon dishes from Udon Kaden, the beloved Seoul noodle house of chef Jung Ho Young. The launch expands Kurly's line of chef-restaurant frozen meals in the American market.
The two products recreate the flavors of Kaden's best-known menu items for the home kitchen: Signature Udon, a warm bowl built on a clear, deeply savory dashi, and Chilled Udon, its cold, no-broth counterpart.
Jung is one of Korea's most recognizable Japanese-cuisine chefs, familiar to audiences from Netflix's "Culinary Class Wars" Season 2 and the long-running "Chef & My Fridge." After earning his footing in Japanese restaurants in Korea, he trained at the Tsuji Culinary Institute in Osaka, then returned to open the izakaya Kaden and, later, Udon Kaden. He has spent more than 20 years cooking Japanese food.
Udon Kaden built its reputation on two things: noodles with a taut, bouncy bite, and a broth of kombu, anchovy and smoked mackerel flakes. The restaurant has drawn steady lines in Seoul for nearly a decade, and today operates locations in Seoul's Yeonhui-dong neighborhood and on Jeju Island.
Signature Udon pairs fresh-frozen udon noodles with a broth modeled on the restaurant's dashi, finished with bonito flakes. The noodles boil in 8 to 9 minutes while the broth heats separately in 1 to 2 — assemble, and the bowl is done. Chilled Udon takes the opposite path: a concentrated dashi-rich sauce, grated radish and toppings poured over cold noodles, trading the comfort of hot soup for a chewier bite and a denser hit of umami.
Both dishes arrive with a track record. In Korea, where the products launched first on Kurly's marketplace, Signature Udon (sold there as Original Udon) has drawn nearly 20,000 customer reviews, and the Udon Kaden line's combined product page has accumulated more than 50,000.
The launch extends a playbook Kurly has refined in Korea since 2017: working directly with chefs and restaurants to turn their signature menus into frozen meals. Kurly USA previously introduced Mokran, the Chinese-cuisine brand of chef Lee Yeon Bok, and is broadening the lineup with Udon Kaden and Yun Seoul, from chef Kim Do Yun.
To mark the launch, Chef Jung will host in-store tastings across California on August 22–23 — in Southern California at H Mart Buena Park and H Mart Irvine NorthPark, and in Northern California at Jagalchi in Daly City and Mega Mart in East Palo Alto.
"Udon Kaden is a defining example of what we do: a chef's recipe and a restaurant's identity, thoughtfully recreated as a frozen meal," said Ryan Chung, Head of Global Business at Kurly. "Starting with Asian grocery retailers, we will keep widening the places where American consumers can bring Korea's chefs and restaurant brands into their everyday cooking."
Signature Udon and Chilled Udon are available at H Mart and other participating retailers, and online at Kurlyglobal.com. Online delivery areas and stock may vary by address and time of order.
