Sunfed® Solvent Orderly Windup Completed.

Sunfed® completed its solvent, voluntary, short-form orderly wind-up in Jan 2026 after 11 years in business, with surplus funds returned to shareholders.

In a climate marked by record and widespread corporate insolvencies, Sunfed was a clear exception staying solvent, distributing surplus funds to shareholders, all employees receiving their full entitlements, no creditors, with remaining stock rapidly sold through the major supermarkets Woolworths and Foodstuffs. Sunfed was not delisted; product availability ended solely due to the deliberate cessation of in-house manufacturing, underscoring its strong consumer demand till the end, operational & manufacturing capability, and leadership.

Sunfed® manufactured the worlds BEST plant-based meat alternatives. A product-led company with proprietary manufacturing, Sunfed specialised in turning premium protein-packed pulses into delicious meaty goodness using clean water-based techniques. Our world leading gold-standard range of Chicken Free Chicken™, Bull Free Beef™ and Boar Free Bacon™ boasted the meatiest texture, highest quality & minimalist ingredients, and healthiest nutrition in the global market, standing still unmatched for plant-based meats.

When I cook Sunfed Boar Free Bacon, I see some foaming. Why is that?

That's just a natural reaction of the hot oil traveling through the bacon and the fats and proteins making love 😀

Is there meant to be liquid with the raw Boar Free Bacon pieces?

Yes there will be some olive oil fat on the bacon pieces. You will see it melt when you cook it. Sunfed bacon looks very much like raw animal bacon. Some customers may not be used to that! 🧡

Where is Sunfed proteins made?

Sunfed® Chicken Free Chicken™, Boar Free Bacon™ and Bull Free Beef™ is proudly made in New Zealand.

How about an Online order?

In NZ, you can buy Sunfed through Countdown Supermarkets.

Can you send Sunfed meats directly to me?

Sunfed products are snap frozen to lock in all the goodness. This helps ensure our products remain 100% preservative free. So whilst you can find Sunfed Chicken Free Chicken in supermarket chillers and freezers, it is not available for mail orders as that would require refrigerated shipping.

Why call it Chicken Free Chicken?

It's called Chicken Free Chicken to communicate to the consumer clearly that this product is free from animal chicken, but can be easily used in place of animal chicken in the chicken recipes they are familiar with.

Sunfed Chicken Free Chicken (aka Chickenless Chicken, Vegan Chicken or Chicken NOT Chicken!) is clean and lean with high protein, high iron, high zinc, high phosphorous, high potassium, source of fibre, source of magnesium, source of B vitamins and low carb. It is cholesterol and trans fat free.
