Re: Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. Registration Statement on Form SB-2 Filed May 27, 2005 File Number 333-125300

Dear Ms. Lin:

We have reviewed your filing and have the following comments. Where indicated, we think you should revise your document in response to these comments. If you disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment is inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary. Please be as detailed as necessary in your explanation. In some of our comments, we may ask you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better understand your disclosure. After reviewing this information, we may or may not raise additional comments.

Please understand that the purpose of our review process is to assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing. We look forward to working with you in these respects. We welcome any questions you may have about our comments or on any other aspect of our review. Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed at the end of this letter. General 1. Please file your remaining exhibits as soon as possible. Please note that we may issue comments on those exhibits once they are filed. 2. Please note that where we provide examples to illustrate what we mean by our comments, they are examples and not exhaustive lists. If our comments are applicable to portions of the filing that we have not cited as examples, make the appropriate changes in accordance with our comments. 3. In your response letter, please state our comment and then explain each change that has been made in response to a comment. In addition, you should also reference each page number in which disclosure has been revised in response to a comment so that we can easily place your revised disclosure in its proper context.

Form SB-2 Risk Factors, p. 4 General 4. When disclosing a risk factor, you should customize it with specific reasons why you may be exposed to a particular risk so as to make the disclosure more meaningful. As one example only, in the disclosure on page 6 in "We may not have sufficient protection...," you have provided rather generic disclosure regarding potential infringement of your intellectual property. Instead, you should expand and customize the risk factor to disclose whether there are any facts or circumstances that would lead you to believe that another party may infringe upon your intellectual property rights. Furthermore, you should disclose whether you have had any problems in the past with infringement.

Please review all of your risk factors to ensure that your disclosure is customized for the Company and is as specific as possible. In your response letter, please identify all places where revisions are made in response to this comment. 5. In addition, for each risk factor, make sure that the risk posed to investors is clearly explained. As one example only, in the intellectual property risk factor on page 6 that is referenced in the comment above, you refer to the possibility that unauthorized use could "adversely affect our business and operations..." Instead of referring to generic consequences for the risk, you should be more explicit and specific in describing the actual harm that would come to the company from third party infringement. Please review all your risk factors to ensure that you have specifically delineated potential harms. 6. Please consider adding risk factors relating to the following: ? Product or manufacturing defects or other matters that could lead to litigation; ? Competition in the market place; ? Market acceptance of your manufacturing services; ? Regulation of manufacturers; ? Difficulties in commercialization; ? The FDA`s label that stevioside is unsafe; ? Risks associated with developing new business; ? Reliance on key personnel; ? Risks associated with growth management; and ? Any other material risks facing the company.

We are materially reliant..., p. 5 We cannot assure you that the current Chinese policies, p.5 Even if the Chinese government continues its policies, p. 5 We are subject to risks associated with the conversion, p. 5 7. Please revise the disclosures so that they more specifically describe the risks posed. As one example only, in the risk factor relating to Chinese policies, instead of referring to reform and Chinese policy generally, you should specifically describe any current reforms that have benefited the company, explain that such reforms could be reversed and explain the material harm that could come to the company as a result. As another example, in the risk factor relating to currency risk, instead of referring to currency risk generically, you should disclose whether you have faced any situations in the past that would have brought these risks to fruition. You should also disclose any facts or circumstances that might suggest that these risks may be forthcoming.

Please review each of these four risk factors to disclose your history with the factors and to more specifically disclose the precise risks each poses or may pose to investors in the company.

"We cannot assure you that the current Chinese policies...," p. 5 8. Please be more specific in describing the risks posed to investors in the company associated with this risk factor.
