WellGood Products: Better and Smarter Eating
Our story
It took a chance meeting on an unplanned flight to unite two dynamic forces.
Kamila McDonald and Sarah Myers are passionate about creating healthy and tasty plant-based foods.
We, like many others, faced health issues that started with our food and decided to join hands to produce delicious dairy-free, plant-based alternatives, packaged foods and hearty snacks for the Caribbean.
Dynamic, delicious and on-trend, our products are packed with maximum nutrition, free of artificial ingredients and fillers that passed the taste test of foodies in Jamaica, Los Angeles, Florida, New York and New Jersey.
Our philosophy of better and smarter eating is more than just one of the latest food fads, it’s the very foundation of our high standards in offering wholesome premium quality products customers will love!
Foods that are nutritious, flavourful and sustainable
There is a need for dairy-free alternatives using wholesome ingredients mostly found right here in Jamaica.
There is a myth that plant-based foods are inadequate, not enjoyable and not satisfying…we defy that.
People with dietary restrictions have a hard time finding what they need in the supermarket.
Our unique blend of ingredients and out-of-the-box culinary creations impart a flavourful alternative to the market standard. Most of the popular imported plant-based substitutes are made with cheap, imitation ingredients manufactured in high-emission environments.
Solving the problem: We elevate and innovate
Our company is pioneering the delivery of dairy-free, plant-forward foods that taste good, are better for you, and are always on trend.
We are offering better options for meat and dairy alternatives to satisfy the growing flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan markets.
We will reduce our impact on Mother Earth through sustainable practices.

Nutritious and satisfying

Competitors
There are no cheese or dairy alternatives made in Jamaica currently in the supermarkets. There is no competition in food service (suppliers for hotels and restaurants). Our manufacturing facility fills a need, not only supporting our production, it will co-pack and provide services for product development and incubating small like-minded businesses across the island.
Within 12 months, we will be present in these supermarkets:
Hi-Lo Food Stores
Select Grocers
Loshusan
MegaMart Wholesale Club
