Market leader and pioneer in the soya food industry in Sri Lanka, Lankasoy, recently launched its newest innovation, iCook ‘stir fry’ soya meat range to the local market. This first-of-its-kind ‘stir fry’ product range is a variation from the conventional soya meat products available in the Sri Lankan market.

“At Lankasoy, we continuously strive to excel in our research and development by introducing innovative products that offer convenience to the consumer. Lankasoy’s iCook range is a result of these efforts. It is the first ‘stir fry’ soya meat product range to enter the market and it can be easily prepared by youth and young adults who want freshly cooked food,” stated Convenience Foods BUP_DFT_DFT-18-3 (Lanka) PLC Managing Director Thilanka De Zoysa.

The all new iCook range comes in three varieties – chicken, seafood and vegetable. The 90 g pack is priced at Rs. 65. Unlike conventional soya meat products, iCook products do not require soaking in water and draining off excess water before preparation. Therefore, this innovative range can be conveniently prepared for daily consumption, birthday parties and special occasions. Lankasoy’s iCook ‘stir fry’ range caters to those with busy lifestyles as this nutritious food can be easily prepared at home for family and guests.

“Generally the culinary duties of a home rest on a mother. In order to ease her burden, Lankasoy as the market leader in the local soya food industry has introduced a healthy product that can be jointly prepared by the whole family,” stated Convenience Foods (Lanka) PLC Manager Quality Assurance/Research and Development Mala Ranathunga.

Manufacturers of the iCook ‘stir fry’ range, Lankasoy has been awarded ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 22000: 2005, GMP, HACCP and SLS 898 certifications.

During the past 25 years, Lankasoy has maintained its leadership in Sri Lanka’s soya food industry. Entering the market at a time when quality standards were rarely set for soya products, the company was the first to obtain the local SLS mark.

Lankasoy has been the recipient of many National and International awards. In 2013, Lankasoy clinched the SLIM Brand of the year in recognition of its business excellence.

The innovative iCook ‘stir fry’ soya product range is cholesterol free and rich in protein. The product is manufactured by Lankasoy, the flagship brand of Convenience Foods (Lanka) PLC, a subsidiary of Ceylon Biscuits Ltd. (CBL).
