South Korea: Innohas to open world’s largest plant-based food facility

Innohas, a South Korean food maker, has announced the opening of a manufacturing site which is claimed to be the largest fully plant-based food facility anywhere in the world.

Sited in Jecheon, South Korea, the new facility will reportedly produce Korean-style plant-based foods under Innohas’s Sunlit Foods brand to cater to increased demand for Korean cuisine.

Established in 2001, Innohas operates under a namesake brand in Asia, but the Sunlit brand in the Americas and Europe. Its product range includes bulgogi, vegetable kimbap, bulgogi japchae, and bibimbap.

The new facility reportedly features South Korea’s largest frozen kimbap production line, dedicated plant-based barbecue and deep-frying lines, and an exclusive oven line for plant-based products.

The company is quoted as saying it intends to spearhead the plant-based trend in a country that traditionally has a strong meat-eating culture.
