About

v2food is an Australian plant-based meat company founded in January 2019, born from a partnership between food scientist Nick Hazell and Australia's national science agency CSIRO via its venture fund Main Sequence Ventures. The company develops plant protein products — including burgers, mince, and sausages — designed to match the taste and texture of conventional meat while delivering a lower environmental footprint. Rated Australia's number one plant-based brand in the 2025 Canstar awards, v2food expanded into the US market in 2025 through the acquisition of plant-based chicken maker Daring Foods.
