Food-tech company Innohas has opened what it claims is the ‘world’s largest’ fully plant-based food facility in Jecheon, South Korea.

The facility will manufacture products for Innohas’ brand Sunlit Foods, producing Korean-style plant-based foods that aim to fulfil the growing global appetite for Korean cuisine.

Sunlit Foods offers a portfolio that includes plant-based bulgogi, vegetable kimbap and plant-based bibimbap products, among others. Its collection totals 11 ready-to-eat meals, developed to cater to the demand for convenience while aligning with the global shift toward more sustainable and ethical food choices.

The newly launched Innohas Green Food Factory’s facilities include the nation’s largest frozen kimbap production line, dedicated plant-based barbecue and deep-frying lines, and an exclusive oven line for plant-based products. It facilitates the production of both finished goods and ingredients for culinary use.

Innohas works closely with Korean cuisine specialists to develop products that enable consumers to easily enjoy authentic Korean dishes at home – something that the company said can be ‘daunting’ for consumers due to the ‘intricate balance’ of flavours and wide range of ingredients used.

While Korea has a ‘strong meat-eating culture,’ Innohas added, it aims to spearhead the plant-based trend in the country and enable consumers to easily adopt plant-based options without sacrificing traditional flavours or taste.
