Did you know there’s more than one way to enjoy Food Sock Traditional Melkkos?

If you prefer a smoother, creamier texture, try this simple twist:

✔️ Cook the macaroni until tender
✔️ Chop the macaroni into smaller pieces
✔️ Return it to the pot, add the Melkkos mix and water, then cook for a further 3–5 minutes until thickened

The result? A softer, more traditional-style Melkkos experience that many people love.

One of the things we enjoy most at Food Sock is discovering new ways to make our meals work for different tastes and preferences. Whether you like the original macaroni texture or a creamier version, the choice is yours.

Have you tried our Traditional Melkkos yet? Let us know which version you prefer!

What Does the Packaging Say?

We've had many discussions about our products, so we thought we'd let the packaging speak for itself.

As shown on our packaging, our meals are clearly identified as:

✅ Protein-rich soya mince
✅ 100% Plant Based Flavoured Protein
✅ Soy listed in the ingredients
✅ Contains No Meat
✅ No beef, fish or chicken indicated by the product icons

Our mission has always been to provide affordable, nutritious, shelf-stable meals that are easy to prepare and accessible to as many people as possible.
