Wide Open Agriculture said the “process is ongoing and that initial discussions remain confidential”.

Following an article in the Australian Financial Review on 14 February suggesting a possible sale of the asset, the agri-food company requested a trading halt. 

It said it requests the halt to remain in place until further clarification from the company.

The Kewdale, Western Australia-headquartered company’s Dirty Clean Food operation is described as a “soil-to-table” brand with a portfolio including a variety of meat products, fruit and vegetables, bakery items and eggs. It also manufactures ready-made food such as pizza and cheeseboards.

The parent company also owns Wide Open Ingredients. Its main product is Buntine Protein, a plant-based protein derived from lupins grown in Australia.

In October last year, the agri-food business acquired the Germany-based sweet-lupin producer, ProLupin for €2.5m ($2.69m).

It received a A$5m ($3.3m) grant from the Western Australian Government’s Investment Attraction Fund last August. The funds are supposed to support the company to build a facility that makes Buntine Protein-enhanced oat milk.

The plant will be located in Western Australia.
