Chunk Foods Set to Double Sales & Defy Plant-Based Meat Slowdown

Israeli plant-based meat startup Chunk Foods is expecting to double its sales and reach profitability next year, despite a slowdown in the plant-based meat sector. CEO Amos Golan believes that the main challenge facing companies in this sector is not demand, but rather a lack of repeat purchases. The company focuses on whole-cut meat alternatives, which have been successful in the market, with products already profitable on a unit basis and company-wide net profitability expected in the second half of 2027.

Chunk Foods has seen significant growth, with a 140% increase in business in 2025. The company attributes its success to a focus on distribution, achieving placement in over 3,000 locations in the US and partnering with major retailers and foodservice companies. By offering high-quality, protein-rich products with familiar ingredients at a good value, Chunk Foods aims to address the pain points of the meat alternative category and continue its growth trajectory.
