New York City | June 2025
Chutnefy, the flagship retail brand from Funk Foods LLC, is redefining what chutneys can be: clean-label, shelf-stable, and ready in seconds, without compromising on flavor or tradition.
All set to showcase at the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show, Chutnefy offers a first-of-its-kind line of freeze-dried Indian chutneys, sides and ready-to-eat meals crafted for both global retail and new-age foodservice providers.
Chutnefy has established a robust retail presence in the U.S., with placements in ethnic retail chains across California, Seattle, North Carolina, Arizona, and Texas, and is now rapidly scaling into new markets. The brand is also live on Amazon in the U.S. and UK, featured in select UK retail, and has a robust presence in India through top marketplaces and a growing D2C operation.
"Most chutneys in the market today come bottled & packed with lots of oil and preservatives, or frozen with barely any shelf life, and even fewer flavor choices. Chutnefy offers a smarter solution with clean, freeze-dried chutneys that stay fresh, travel light, and come alive in seconds. No oil, no junk; just bold, honest and the widest range of flavors.”, says Prasanna Natarajan, CEO of Funk Foods. "We wanted to honor traditional chutneys while adapting them for today’s pace and pantries; you know, the kind of flavor that’s accessible wherever you are in the world, no grinding stones or blenders needed."
Every flavor is a homage to traditional regional Indian recipes, packed with 100% clean, real ingredients. Whether it is a simple & classic Coconut chutney that comes to life with a splash of water, or a spicy tomato with chillies blended to deliver an instant punch, Chutnefy reimagines chutney without losing its soul.
