Amala Foods Plc (LON: DISH), a food technology company is pleased to announce a Business Update.

The Company announced on 23 June 2021 that it had signed a term sheet to extend the £200,000 loan to the first quarter of 2022 and to receive the remaining balance of the £540,000 convertible loan.  The Company has now executed an Agreement and has received the remaining loan balance.  This will enable the Company to achieve commercial traction and fund operations into the first quarter of 2022.

The Joint Venture Company, Amala Foods Inc, is pleased to announce that the research and development phase has been completed and the focus has now shifted towards preparing for commercial distribution of its plant-based alternative meat products.  The initial products that have completed the research and development phase are as follows:  Pepperoni; Mexican Sausage; Breakfast Sausage; Tuscan Salami and Sopressata; Hotdog; Chicken Galantine; various Jackfruit products; and Meatballs. 

The Company will initially supply restaurants and B2B (business-to-business) customers and later plans to launch to retail customers in the fourth quarter of this year.

The Company recently increased the size of the team including a food scientist.  The process is underway to gain approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) which once granted will enable the Company to export its plant-based products.  The plant-based sector is experiencing exponential growth globally and the Company is confident that its range of products will be well received.
