Moana introduces new flavours in our Kai Ora range
We have been busy this year developing and testing bold, new flavours.
Kawakawa and Tomato Chicken
We are thrilled to announce the addition of four new flavours to our ready-made meal range, which are available for sale on the Moana website and in some Fresh Choice and New World stores in the South Island.
Our new flavours
Kawakawa, Tomato & Chicken Tagine
A tender chicken casserole balanced with the floral bitter notes of kawakawa and pungent spices. This combination is best accompanied with fresh steamed courgettes, sauteed broccoli or your favourite flatbread wrap. Heat and serve with finely chopped spring onions and fresh parsley leaves.
Beef with Chilli Plum Sauce
With a hint of spice from chilli, the tangy notes of New Zealand-grown plums and grass-fed New Zealand beef, this slow-cooked stew is best accompanied with egg or soba noodles or your favourite flatbread wrap. Heat and serve with finely chopped spring onions and fresh mint leaves.
Lamb & Citrus Mint Sauce
Tender lamb pieces, slow-cooked with mint and citrus. This slow-cooked stew is best accompanied with roasted potatoes or pan fried hash browns, noodles, rice or your favourite flatbread wrap. Heat and serve with finely chopped spring onions and fre mint leaves.

Customer feedback
“Don’t generally buy ready to eat meals but may buy this for desperate dinners especially during winter. (I) like the hearty flavour of this product. Love that it can be stretched by adding other ingredients.”

New Zacmi can seamer at Palmerston North
The Zacmi is a state-of-the-art, fully self-contained rotary can seamer with more flexibility in can sizing and higher throughput than either of the fixed diameter seamers it replaces.
Fully guarded, with automatic cut-out on opening on either access door, it meets all the general requirements of machinery safety as outlined in the Standards New Zealand manual for operation.
The new seamer increases our flexibility of both diameter sizing with four industry standard diameters now possible compared to the two with the previous seamer and can heights with several industry standard heights now possible. It has also been set up in its own room to enable production of canned food products from the RTE hall and enables us to pursue opportunities for canned foods. The old seamers it replaces were dedicated to pāua only and the site RMP prevented food products other than pāua to be processed on the old seamers.

A barge blessing in Pārengarenga
A number of Moana New Zealand’s Tio whānau gathered for the blessing of Ngā Rua Taipari (The Two Rising Tides Meeting) in Pārengarenga with Tangaroa Marine, the makers of the new barge.
As part of the Tio Transformation project, Moana has needed to invest in new barges to facilitate the flipping of baskets across our farms. Our guests, kaumātua from mana whenua in the region, remarked how pleased they were with the new vessels, making the work easier on the kaimahi.

Two-kilogram Ika pack a winner with Bidfood
Moana New Zealand introduced a two-kilogram skin pack tray specifically for Bidfood, New Zealand’s largest full-service food wholesalers, for all their North Island distribution centres except Wellington.
Production of these multiple branch orders are currently processed through our new night shift operations, which has been implemented as a result of the Sanford transaction. Current demand from Bidfood is two tonnes fillets packed weight per week, but we expect this to increase to three tonnes weekly over the summer months which usually sees higher demand. Additionally, Bidfood South Island branches are now showing interest in our product, which will provide an opportunity for the new Wellington Kaimoana Hub to supply.
Feedback from Bidfood management and branch managers have been extremely positive for both quality and service through the domestic and processing teams.
