Shocken Foods

Unit 4 Dartford Trading Estate, Victoria Road, Dartford, England, DA1 5XS, United Kingdom

Overview

Shocken Foods produces plant-based deli charcuterie and spreads, including pepperoni, bresaola, porchetta, chorizo, vegan foie gras pâté, spicy 'Nduja, and allergen-free meatballs. The company, launched as Veganly Deli and later rebranded, uses ingredients such as hemp, pumpkin, and wheat to create protein-rich products the company says have three times higher protein than meat. Its pepperoni is formulated to withstand high pizza-oven temperatures without losing juiciness. Founders include Emma Bowe, a former Michelin‑kitchen chef with extensive culinary credentials, and Peter Kalkowsky, a professional caterer and former senior manager. Shocken Foods has won awards including Food Startup of the Year (National Startup Awards) and a Great Taste Award for its 'Nduja. The company has secured a fully certified plant-based co-manufacturing facility in the UK and plans production expansion ahead of a UK retail launch before Christmas.
