About
Chunk Foods makes clean-label, plant-based whole cut products. By combining plant ingredients and food-grade microorganisms, the company delivers the textures, flavors, and nutritional benefits of meat without its moral and environmental costs. Spun out of MIT, Chunk is enabling large-scale manufacturing of healthy, realistic whole muscle cut meat alternatives. Its first target is beef; seafood and poultry are next. The company's fermentation technology combines novelty and tradition. It enables the creation of any kind of whole muscle cut texture, nutritional profile, and appearance, with a short and clear ingredient list. The company's products use just a handful of healthy, recognizable ingredients, without gums, stabilizers, or GMOs.
