Let customers speak for us
Absolutely loving these fried chicken bites that are extremely reminiscent of KFC umami - I've made East Asian noodles with them too and will def be keeping in freezer at all times
Honestly a stunning product, nothing like this on the NZ market so it’s incredible. Truly grateful. Thank you!!
I love how much protein you get in this, super tasty and easy to season with whatever you like! Also cheaper buying in bulk as opposed to the supermarkets!!
Wow. Just wow. Incredible taste and texture, and clean ingredients list as well , I am amazed I am hooked.
Your Harmless Burger Patties are delicious!
These are a hit with my vegan family members.
Harmless Chicken Nuggets are delicious, enjoyed them very much. Great texture and flavour.
I absolutely love this, only recently found it at Woolworths and am happy to have found it in bulk here. It's great for making teriyaki chicken on sushi rice, and for so many other things, even eating it as is, is great.
Vegan steak and home made kamokamo chutney is my new favourite quick meal. Absolutely love this product and the few non vegans I’ve shared it with have been blown away at it too. Also had on the bbq wrapped in tinfoil with garlic and fresh rosemary. Won’t be sharing again as these sell fast so keeping for myself now. Amazing product
I’ve been buying it in tiny boxes from the supermarket so buying in bulk is so much better. Both orders have come really fast
I recently tried the Harmless Steak Fillets, and I am honestly blown away. Not only is the texture and marbling incredibly realistic, but they are also so versatile perfect whether you're searing them in a pan for a classic steak night or shredding them into tacos.
Beyond the great taste, choosing a product like this is about a much bigger kaupapa. For me, being vegan is a direct expression of aroha (love and compassion). It’s about showing kindness and peace toward all living beings that inhabit the earth. By choosing plant-based options, we acknowledge our connection to Papatūānuku and all her creatures, ensuring we live in a way that respects the life force (hā) in everything.
It is heartening to see more high-quality, cruelty-free options on the market that make it easy to choose compassion without compromising on the joy of a good meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking to align their diet with a philosophy of non-violence and care for the world.

The ground beef and beef crumble are superb!
These would be my favourite 2 products out the entire range.
Some info I was looking for before buying:
The GROUND BEEF is more like sausage meat than anything else, and with onions and seasonings added, I made some into scotch eggs (for vegetarians). The other part was for sausage pie, using vegan pastry.
The BEEF CRUMBLE is more like supermarket mince, so it can used anywhere you’d want that texture, like a mince pie or tacos.
Photo shows 2 large potato top mince pies (covered in Nudairy’s vegan mozzarella cheese) and my sausage pie. Scotch eggs not pictured but they were yummy.
