“We welcome Orange Group as our exclusive general trade distributor in China and are excited they share our vision for FUNCH. Orange Group’s experience in FMCG and reach in Northern and Central China is significant and provides the optimal avenue to launch FUNCH into new markets in China.

“After trialling a smaller order in June which has since made its way onto shelves, we have now received a second purchase order from Orange Group, which includes our most recently launched lines of Australian made edible oils boosted with DHA omega-3; and we have had a number of collaborative discussions around additional products to launch with them over the course of this agreement.

“FUNCH continues to go from strength-to-strength and this contract solidifies our strategic entry into China and propels the FUNCH brand to the next level.

Orange Group CEO, Sally Wang said:

We are excited to be working with Forbidden Foods to bring the FUNCH brand into China via our general trade network. The mother and baby food category continues to attract demand for high quality products and Orange Group is well placed to expand the distribution of FUNCH products offline into our already established network. Our vertically integrated sales, marketing and distribution capabilities are an asset that we will be using fully to make the brand sustainable .”
