Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use South African English Шаблон:Infobox company Fry Group Foods is a manufacturer of vegan meat substitutes founded by South Africans Wally and Debbie Fry in 1991.[1][2] In March 2020 it joined LIVEKINDLY Collective, the global plant-based food company.
History
Wally Fry is a vegan convert who once ate meat and traded livestock for a living.[1][3] He decided to follow the example of his vegetarian wife Debbie and daughter Tammy after observing the inhumane conditions in a working pig farming facility built by his own construction firm. The couple created meat substitutes in their Durban home for personal consumption to help Wally adapt to his new meat-free diet.[1][4] Due to growing demand from others, they eventually registered a company to manufacture meat substitutes on a commercial scale in 1991. As public demand for vegan food in South Africa was marginal at the time, the company had to innovate as a manufacturer in a new market.[1][5][4] Since inception, the company has also advocated for a plant-based diet via public awareness campaigns including Meat-Free Monday and Veganuary.[3][5]
Locations
In 1998 the company began exporting its meat substitutes from South Africa to Australia, where its headquarters have been based since 2014.[1][3] Шаблон:As of its frozen food products, which are manufactured in a custom-built factory in Durban and by a contractor in Cornwall, are sold by supermarket chains and other retailers in over 30 countries.[1][3][5] In 2020 the brand became part of the stable of plant-based food brands under LIVEKINDLY Collective - opening up its export market potential. Currently it's biggest markets are South Africa, UK and Australia.
Products
The product range initially consisted of only a handful of basics including sausages, hot dogs, and burger patties.[1][4] Шаблон:As of it has expanded to include more than 40 products —including schnitzels, sausage rolls, chicken-style nuggets, stir-fry strips, pea protein mince, plant-based popcorn (chick'n style), polony and more—which are made without any meat, egg, or dairy ingredients.[1][3][2] The unpatented plant-based meat substitutes are made from legumes, grains, natural flavourings, and spices, and do not contain any genetically modified ingredients.[6][7]
