Developing the world’s first vegan chicken using peanut protein as a primary ingredient
Haofood stands as a pioneer in revolutionizing meatless product tailored to Asian tastes. While Western markets have embraced meatless movement, Asia's journey has been slower, given the divergence from local culinary preferences. Haofood addresses this gap with innovation at its core. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as extrusion and molecular cuisine simulation, the company offers the Chickless and Meatless Dim Sum series. In the Chickless lineup, they proudly present clean-label creations composed of peanut, soy, and sunflower—void of additives and preservatives.

With a profound understanding of Asian cuisine, Haofood is committed to preserving its heritage through technology.
