Life Health Foods manufactures products in New Zealand under brand names including Bean Supreme, Alternative Meat Co, Vegie Delights and Lisa’s.
Chalmers Organics is based in Auckland and manufactures a range of meat alternative products under the Tonzu and Zenzo brands. It also makes plant-based dairy alternative products.
