Chunk Foods secures funding, Latin America deal for plant-based whole cuts


The partnership with meat and dairy producer Sigma Alimentos brings Chunk’s plant-based products to Latin America for the first time.

Chunk Foods, a company making plant-based whole cuts of alternative protein, closed on another $7.5 million in seed extension funding amid a new strategic partnership with one of Latin America’s largest meat and dairy producers. Despite fewer VC dollars being invested in plant-based alternative proteins, Amos Golan, founder and CEO of Chunk Foods, remains optimistic, even calling 2023 “a breakout year for the industry” and his company. “For a long time, the plant-based options on the market didn’t meet expectations in terms of taste or texture,” Golan told TechCrunch via email.
