IXON and Chuku’s Kitchen Launch Joint Venture for Premium Shelf-Stable Pet Food

HONG KONG, June 10, 2025 — Hong Kong foodtech company IXON and Singapore’s Chuku’s Kitchen have announced a joint venture to commercialize a new generation of shelf-stable, human-grade pet food. This collaboration brings together Chuku’s Kitchen’s fresh, veterinarian-formulated meals with IXON’s proprietary Advanced Sous-Vide Aseptic Packaging (ASAP) technology. The goal: to deliver convenient, nutritious, and minimally processed meals and treats for pets — without the need for refrigeration.

The new product line will debut at Food & Drinks Malaysia by SIAL, from July 1–3 at MITEC Kuala Lumpur, where both companies will co-exhibit.

All meals and snacks are made from fresh, premium ingredients, developed by board-certified veterinary nutritionists. “We’re not just feeding pets — we’re nourishing them with 100% human-grade ingredients that are better than what the average person eats daily,” said Josh Chew, founder of Chuku’s Kitchen. “Every product is science-backed, customized to your pet’s daily caloric needs, and free from artificial preservatives or additives.”

Using IXON’s ASAP technology, these meals can be stored at room temperature for months — with no freezer burn, defrosting hassles, or spoilage. “We’re thrilled to support Chuku’s Kitchen in bringing their vision to life,” said Felix Cheung, founder and CEO of IXON. “Our technology preserves taste, nutrition, and texture, while also making high-quality pet meals accessible to more households.”

The joint venture will also introduce premium treats such as sirloin strips and salmon steaks — crafted into juicy, delectable snacks that retain key nutrients like high-quality proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins. For side ingredients that are plant-based, antioxidants such as polyphenols and anthocyanins are also preserved. The vivid colors and natural aromas of the products serve as visual proof of the technology’s ability to protect freshness and nutritional value.

These products are thoughtfully aligned with the global push toward sustainability. Designed with modern households in mind — especially those with limited freezer or storage space — these innovative shelf-stable meals eliminate the need for cold chain logistics. By reducing reliance on refrigeration, minimizing food waste, and cutting down cold transport emissions, the packaging offers a planet-friendly solution that benefits both pets and the environment.

Traditional fresh pet food is typically confined to local markets due to cold storage and shipping constraints. The IXON–Chuku’s partnership opens new doors for broader distribution. After Singapore, the joint venture plans to expand into Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and Canada.

At SIAL Kuala Lumpur, attendees will be able to sample both the original frozen meals and the new shelf-stable versions. Executives from both companies will be available to discuss the technology, product development, and international expansion strategy.

香港時間 2025 年 6 月 10 日 —— 香港食品科技公司IXON與新加坡寵物鮮食品牌Chuku’s Kitchen宣佈成立合資企業，聯手推出新一代可常溫保存的人用級寵物食品。此合作結合了Chuku’s Kitchen由獸醫營養師設計的鮮食配方，與IXON專利的先進低溫真空無菌包裝（ASAP）技術，目標是為毛孩提供方便、營養豐富、低加工的主食與小食──無需冷藏即可保存。

這批創新產品將於7月1日至3日，在吉隆坡MITEC舉辦的「Food & Drinks Malaysia by SIAL」首次亮相，兩家公司將共同參展。

所有餐點與小食均採用新鮮、優質食材，由持證獸醫營養師研發。「我們不只是餵飽寵物，而是用100%人用級的食材為牠們提供比一般人每日所食更好的營養膳食。」Chuku’s Kitchen創辦人Josh Chew表示，「每款產品均有科學依據，並按每隻寵物的每日熱量需求度身定制，不含任何人造防腐劑或添加物。」

運用IXON的ASAP技術，這些餐點可在室溫下保存數月——無冷凍燒、無解凍煩惱，也不易變質。IXON創辦人兼執行董事張文浩（Felix Cheung）表示：「我們很高興能協助Chuku’s Kitchen實現他們的願景。我們的技術不但能保留食物的風味、營養與質感，亦讓優質寵物餐變得更易於普及。」

合資企業亦將推出高端寵物小食，如西冷牛排條及三文魚扒──製作成果是多汁可口的小食，同時保留優質蛋白質、奧米加3脂肪酸及各類必要維他命。而植物性配料中所含的多酚與花青素等天然抗氧化物亦能得以保存。產品所展現的鮮豔色澤與天然香氣，正是技術保鮮力的最佳證明。

這些產品亦與全球可持續發展目標不謀而合。專為現代家庭而設——尤其是缺乏冷藏或儲物空間的住戶——此類創新常溫膳食可省卻冷鏈物流所需。減少對冷藏的依賴、降低食物浪費與冷運碳排，為寵物與地球帶來雙重裨益。

傳統鮮食因冷藏與配送限制，多只能在本地市場銷售。IXON與Chuku’s的合作將打破此局限。繼新加坡後，合資企業計劃進一步拓展至馬來西亞、泰國、澳洲及加拿大。

在SIAL吉隆坡展會上，參觀者可親自試吃原版冷凍餐及全新常溫版本。兩家公司高層亦將在現場介紹技術細節、產品開發計劃及國際拓展策略。
