Rebellyous Foods is on a Mission to Scale Access and Affordability to Delicious Plant Based Chicken

Rebellyous Foods is an innovative food production company creating delicious, affordable plant based chicken for the foodservice industry. 

The company has achieved this through the custom design of low-cost, high-quality products in combination with the use of high-throughput manufacturing automation, the development of new, low-energy manufacturing tools, and the design of modular production facilities operated by Rebellyous Foods.

With current plant based chicken products at two-to-five times the cost per pound of animal-based meat, plant based chicken will only truly become widely available when it can be produced and sold at a low cost.

Rebellyous Foods is utilizing leading-edge manufacturing methods at scale through R&D with universities, a planned pilot-scale facility in the Puget Sound, and a production facility in Seattle. Working closely with industry partners, Rebellyous Foods equips our facilities with redesigned and optimized equipment for large scale production of plant based chicken.
