At Porij, we believe life is better in full flavour
PORiJ is a Great Taste 2026 award-winning British challenger brand on a mission to prove that on the go breakfast shouldn’t mean compromising on taste. Every pot is high in fibre and contains 3g of prebiotic chicory root fibre, because we believe breakfast should do you good as well as taste good.
PORiJ was born out of a frustration with the breakfast options available when life takes you away from the kitchen. Too often, convenient porridge was bland, overly sweet and nutritionally forgettable. We thought we could do better.
And we knew what better looked like.
Our team brings together years of experience across FMCG, food, retail, sales, marketing and supply chain, with careers spanning businesses including Mars and ABF, alongside experience building and scaling challenger food brands.
Our founder, Dan, brings a fresh perspective. After a career as a commercial airline pilot, travelling extensively across Asia, North America and Europe, he knew first-hand how difficult it could be to find a breakfast that was genuinely delicious, kept you going when you were on the move, and was made with ingredients that were good for you.
When Covid brought an unexpected pause, he swapped the cockpit for the kitchen and set out to create the porridge pot he couldn’t find himself.
That original ambition still drives us today: make brilliant food, make it convenient, and never compromise on flavour.
Keep foraging, Team Porij x
Our Values
At PORiJ, we’re proud to be an independent, agile challenger brand. It means we can move quickly, think differently and stay relentlessly focused on one thing, creating the best tasting food we possibly can.
We’re always foraging for new ideas, flavours and ways to create those little moments of joy.
Because being busy, always on the go and short on time shouldn’t mean compromising on great food. We believe convenience should never come at the cost of taste.
We’re proud to be on a journey towards more responsible food manufacturing.
Our pots are currently fully recyclable at home, and we’re continually looking for ways to reduce our environmental impact, from the way we make our products to the materials we use.
We know there’s always more we can do, and we’re committed to making progress, one step at a time.
For 2026, we’re delighted to be working with The Felix Project and their Good Food For Good Causes. We share the same values and desires to dramatically reduce food waste across our industry and ensure we support those most vulnerable never miss out on healthy, nutritious meals.
Before PORiJ, I spent my career as a commercial airline pilot, travelling across Asia, North America and Europe. Life on the move taught me a lot, but it also highlighted something I struggled to find: a genuinely delicious, nutritious breakfast that could keep up with me.
When Covid brought an unexpected pause, I decided to do something about it. I traded the cockpit for the world of food and set out to create the on the go porridge I couldn’t find myself.
After plenty of testing, tasting and refining, PORiJ was born.
My ambition was simple: to make great tasting porridge without compromising on nutrition or convenience. That’s still what drives us today. We’re constantly foraging for new flavours, better recipes and ways to make breakfast more exciting.
