VBites is a plant-based food manufacturer and brand (mainly meat alternatives and vegan cheeses) that develops 140 products and retails in 24 countries worldwide.[1] All its foods are manufactured in the UK at VBites' factory in Corby.
The company was bought by Heather Mills in 2009.[2]
The manufacturing company was founded in 1993 and mainly traded as the Redwood Wholefood Company before its name was changed to VBites in 2013 to match the restaurant Mills owned.[3]
Brands include Cheezly - a selection of Cheese equivalents.[4] Since 2017 Domino's Pizza have been using it for their vegan options.[5]
In December 2023, the company collapsed into administration.[6] It was subsequently purchased from the administrators by Heather Mills in January 2024.[7]
