What is VBites?
VBites specializes in creating foods that taste like meat or cheese but are made from plants. These are often called "meat alternatives" or "vegan cheeses." Their goal is to offer tasty options for people who choose not to eat animal products. This includes vegetarians and vegans.
History of VBites
The company started in 1993. Back then, it was known as the Redwood Wholefood Company. In 2009, a businesswoman named Heather Mills bought the company. She later changed its name to VBites in 2013. This new name matched a restaurant that Heather Mills also owned.
Popular Products
One of VBites' popular brands is Cheezly. This is a range of cheese-like products made from plants. Since 2017, Cheezly has been used by Domino's Pizza for their vegan pizza options. This means many people have tried VBites' plant-based cheese.
Recent Company News
In December 2023, VBites faced some financial difficulties. The company went into a process called "administration." This is when experts take over a company to try and sort out its money problems. However, in January 2024, Heather Mills bought the company back. This allowed VBites to continue making its plant-based foods.
