Ezy Foods was established in Australia in 2008, driven by a commitment to enhance food offerings in the Aged Care and Hospital sectors. Our directors collaborated with Food Science Australia (CSIRO) to create shelf-stable, texture-modified vegetables. This initial research, along with a market acceptance study, inspired us to pursue product commercialization and establish a dedicated food manufacturing facility in Victoria, Australia. Starting from our modest factory in Laverton North, EzyChef directors, who collectively boast over 130 years of experience in the food industry, expanded our expertise to develop a diverse range of 100% Australian and Pure Vegetable Purees. We have since broadened our product line to include value-added options such as Soups and Stocks, Fresh Cuts, Blended Vegetables, Freeze-Dried Powders, Sauces, Fruit Coulis, and Toppings.
As a proud Australian company, most of our processing equipment was custom-designed and built locally. To accommodate our growth since our founding, we relocated to a purpose-built manufacturing facility in Broadmeadows in 2017.
