Finnebrogue

Finnebrogue is a name synonymous with good food. It started as a producer of superb venison but has since branched out into other meat products and vegetarian/vegan alternatives.

Finnebrogue’s Naked Bacon is the biggest breakfast revolution for a generation. It is the first mass produced rasher to be made without nitrites, which have been shown to be carcinogenic when used in processed meats. This successful breakthrough in nitrites has seen Naked Bacon become one of the UK’s leading bacon brands.

Finnebrogue always looks at what is wrong with food to figure out how to make it the best it can be, without being bound by the way it has always been done. That kind of innovative thinking has led to multiple awards and nationwide acclaim.

The business uses local suppliers including Karro Food Group, Linden Foods, Moy Park, Dale Farm, Mash Direct and PGI Armagh Bramley apples. Customers can enjoy products sold under the Finnebrogue brand, selected retailer’s own-label and in restaurants across Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

In 2020, Finnebrogue opened the doors to a state-of-the-art plant-based factory, the most
advanced of its kind in Europe, from where it produces numerous own-label meat-free products to leading supermarkets and co-manufactures for brands.

Finnebrogue makes nutritionally balanced, delicious, and sustainable plant-based food that’s
virtually indistinguishable from the meat it is imitating. The site produces a range of plant-based products from breaded nuggets and battered goujons to ‘extruded’ alternative protein chunks, burgers, mince and sausages.

They also produce a growing range of ‘veg-rich’ products.
