Rebellyous Foods Commercially Launches the Mock 3© Production System in Washington State

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 22:24:30 GMT

Rebellyous’ patented plant-based meat manufacturing system achieves full commercialization.

Jan. 5th, 2025 | Seattle, Wash. – Rebellyous Foods, a leader in innovative plant-based meat production, today announced the full commercial launch of its proprietary Mock 3 © Production System on Dec. 29th and 30th 2025. Years in development, the system converts conventional batch production of plant-based meat substrates into fully continuous, automated and just-in-time production with only a fraction of the labor typically allocated to such processes, thereby delivering considerable cost savings for producers and brands alike.

“It was a momentous final week of 2025 to see that plant-based meat can be made fully continuously, automated in high volumes and with considerably reduced labor compared to conventional methods...commercially,” remarked Christie Lagally Bradburn, Founder & CEO of Rebellyous Foods.

“Production cost-parity is not just about scale. Targeted manufacturing technology development is key to providing cost-parity alt-protein products. That is what we’ve delivered with Mock 3 © at the end of 2025,” said Cruz Philippe, Mechanical Design Engineer who has developed this technology since 2021 and brought the system to commercialization. “We were able to sustain steady state operation through multiple shifts and to scale up/down as needed in real time to support downstream processing rates.”

Eight years ago, Rebellyous Foods started as Seattle Food Tech, Inc. to make plant-based meat faster, better and less expensive to produce via novel technology and automation innovations. Now, capable of reaching over 5000 lbs/hr+, high-volume conventional processed chicken production has met its match in Rebellyous' Mock 3 © technology. The Mock 3 © is protected by 14 US and International patents and 6 patents pending.

“Crossing this commercialization finish line was as challenging, if not more challenging, than developing the technology itself,” Lagally Bradburn added. “But real-world application of this technology means full realization of the investment in time and money we’ve put into achieving cost-parity alt-meat production.”
Rebellyous Foods had a banner year in 2025, achieving a solid 30% sales growth with strong margins and expanding sales to 45 of 50 US States. Now with seven SKUs, all of which qualify for the USDA National School Lunch Program, foodservice operators have scrumptious, planet-friendly options at a price they can afford.

“We are truly democratizing access to plant-based meat replacements,” explains Tina Meredith, Rebellyous’ Chief Business Officer. “No longer is alt-meat only available to those who can afford premium products. The Mock 3© Production System enables price-parity for the most cost-sensitive market: the USDA National School Lunch Program.”

Founded in 2017 by former Boeing engineer Christie Lagally Bradburn, Rebellyous Foods has become a transformative force in the alt-meat industry, serving schools, hospitals, restaurants, and more. To learn more about Rebellyous Foods, visit rebellyous.com .

Rebellyous Foods' Christie Lagally Named to Inc.'s 2024 Female Founders List

kristie.middleton@seattlefoodtech.com (Kristie Middleton) — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 17:58:01 GMT

Inc.'s seventh annual Female Founders list highlights entrepreneurs with world-changing companies

SEATTLE, April 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Inc. today announced its seventh annual Female Founders list, honoring a bold group of 250 women whose innovations and ideas are shaping the world into a better place. The list included Christie Lagally, founder and CEO of Seattle Food Tech, Inc., DBA Rebellyous Foods, a plant-based meat manufacturing technology company.

The founders cross all industries and bring unique stories of success from each stage of the entrepreneurial journey — from startup to going public, being acquired by big buyers, or spending decades at the helm of an organization. They are reinventing everything from shoes to food and are challenging issues like financial literacy and reproductive health.

"I'm humbled to be recognized among such inspiring female founders. This acknowledgment affirms Rebellyous' commitment to revolutionizing the meat processing industry, driving the price parity of plant-based meat with our innovative technology," said Christie Lagally, CEO of Rebellyous Foods. "We're working diligently toward a sustainable and compassionate future for all with the launch of our Mock 2 technology this summer, and we are grateful for the support of our customers, production partners, and investors each step of the way."

Spearheading a groundbreaking mission to make plant-based chicken price-competitive with its animal-based counterpart, Christie Lagally leads Rebellyous Foods in developing novel production equipment engineered specifically for plant-based meat and to make the best-tasting chicken, every time. Most plant-based meat is made using off-the-shelf meat processing equipment, which is not designed for the unique qualities of plant-based ingredients, and results in high levels of inefficiency and cost.

Once deployed, Rebellyous' first-of-its-kind Mock 2 technology will significantly reduce production costs, energy, footprint, material waste, and more, achieving up to a 60% reduction in the cost of manufacturing. Mock 2 will efficiently craft its high-quality, restaurant-style plant-based chicken nuggets, tenders, and patties at prices consumers will truly appreciate.

Rebellyous Foods is revolutionizing the food landscape, expanding into more than 240 school districts and reaching over 3.5 Million students nationwide. The company, which primarily focuses on the National School Lunch Program, has nearly doubled or tripled sales in the last three years running, demonstrating the need for delicious plant-based meat options and showcasing its differentiation of texture, flavor, nutrition, cost, and especially quality.

The launch of Mock 2 improves the quality-at-scale of mix-and-form plant-based meat products while continuously producing at volumes of 2,500-3,700 lb/hr with the potential to reach 5000+ lb/hr or more on a single processing line. The company is poised to scale operations, boasting the capacity to deliver a staggering 10M pounds of plant-based chicken annually with the Mock 2 Production System, deploying the new equipment this summer 2024.

Each year, Inc. editors review thousands of applications highlighting female founders challenging the status quo and tackling some of the world's biggest problems. The list features women who have overcome challenges and lifted those around them while leading impactful organizations across the country. They join the ranks of previous honorees including Jessica Alba, Tracee Ellis Ross, Rihanna, and Shonda Rhimes.

"The past year, for many, will go down as one of the hardest ever—between a funding freeze and ad-spending pullback," said Diana Ransom, Inc. Executive Editor, "The female founders on this year's list are a testament to what triumph over adversity looks like. They should all be proud of this singular accomplishment."

To see the complete list, go to: https://www.inc.com/female-founders

After launching in 2018, the Female Founders list is one of Inc.'s most esteemed franchises.

Inc. magazine's Female Founders issue (April 2024) will be available online on April 9 at https://www.inc.com/magazine and on newsstands on April 16.

Plant-based foods are gaining momentum amongst consumers and in schools. According to one article , seventy-nine percent of Gen-Z’s (those born 1997 – 2012) report they are “eager to go meatless” a few times a week. Recent research from Oxford University concluded that plant-based diets produce 75 percent less greenhouse gas emissions, generate 75 percent less water pollution, and use 75 percent less land than animal-based diets.

Rebellyous Foods Raises $9.5M Equity Round

Investors Bank on Technology to Get Plant-Based Chicken to Price Parity

Plant-Based Chicken Nuggets Nab Industry Honor

Rebellyous Foods’ plant-based nuggets have won the KeHE On Trend® Frozen Award, a top honor from one of North America’s largest food distributors. More than 200 brands applied for the award. A team of innovation gurus judged products on factors including ingredients, innovation, taste, price, packaging, people, and purpose. Rebellyous’ crispy, juicy plant-based nuggets came out on top in the frozen category.

Rebellyous Nuggets are 100% plant-based with no cholesterol, antibiotics, or hormones, and less saturated fat than their chicken counterparts. Shoppers can find the products in the freezer case in select supermarkets for $5.99.

“We’re honored to have won this prestigious award from our partners at KeHE,” said Christie Lagally, founder and CEO of Rebellyous Foods. “Not only are they kid tested and mom approved, but tastemakers agree that our plant-based nuggets are a stand out in the industry.”
