Shandi Global has announced the opening of what it says is Singapore’s “largest” plant-based chicken production facility, following a second seed funding round.
The funding is supporting the commercialisation and scaling up of Shandi’s plant-based chicken products, which come in an array of formats, including patties, pieces, strips, shreds and drumsticks.
Founded in 2019, Shandi’s aim is to provide alternative sustainable sources of food in order to tackle global shortages. The company’s patented technology uses natural, non-GMO ingredients, such as pea protein, chickpeas, brown rice, coconut oil, quinoa and flax seeds, to make plant-based chicken.
According to Shandi, the products feel and react to cooking in the same way as animal meat, a characteristic that the company claims other brands are yet to replicate successfully. In addition, the meat alternatives manufacturer claims its plant-based chicken is the only product of its kind to have a protein content close to actual chicken meat’s 30%.
Reena Sharma, founder and CEO of Shandi Global, commented: “We are currently focusing on B2B partnerships, whose established networks we are tapping [into]…to quickly introduce our products to as many people as possible, to gain mass adoption of Shandi in kitchens around the world. This will enable us to quickly expand so that we can continue research and development to further improve our offerings.”
