Update: Mr Lee’s Pure Food Co’s Equity Crowdfunding Campaign Surpasses £1.8 Million During the Final Days on Seedrs

Mr Lee’s Pure Foods, a UK-based foodtech that is creating premium health noodles-in-a-cup and soon to be launched instant Congee Asian rice porridges, is now set to close its equity crowdfunding round on Seedrs with more than £1.8 in funding secured. The funding round launched in April, originally seeking £1.75 million, and has attracted over 450 Seedrs investors. 

As previously reported, Mr Lee’s claims to be a “real game-changer” for premium food-on-the-go due to its offering  healthier, gourmet noodle in a cup with nutritious freeze-dried ingredients and absolutely no “nasties.”

“The perfect light lunch or dinner, the noodles come in 6 flavours – Hong Kong Street Beef, Coconut Chicken Laksa, Warrior Fighting Shrimp, Zen Garden Vegetables, Tai Chi Chicken and Dragon Fire Vegetables – all certified low in sugar by Sugarwise and gluten free by Coeliac UK. Also one of the lowest in salt, saturated fats and calories (between 202-237 calories per serving) instant noodles on the market. Vegan options also available.”

Mr Lee’s further revealed it uses real and nutritious freeze-dried meat and veggies, air-dried rice noodles, chef-made broths and absolutely no nasties, palm oil, MSG. They’re certified low sugar and gluten-free, are low calorie and have Vegan options, 100% recyclable/compostable packaging and no plastic sachets.

“Our foods have only the finest real-food ingredients & absolutely no nasties. With over 50 significant global food, health and business awards and nominations, our ‘Real Food-Real Taste-Real Quick’ focus has gained a growing global presence in multiple channels across Europe, Australia and now we aim to launch in the USA in 2020.”
