LIVIVA Foods was founded by husband-and-wife team Laura Chia and Lan Wong after a personal health wake-up during Laura's pregnancy changed how their family approached everyday meals. They began looking for foods that fit a lower-carb way of eating while keeping the familiar taste and enjoyment of the dishes they loved.

That experience became the idea behind LIVIVA: create better-for-you pasta, noodles and rice alternatives that feel easy to use in real life. The company began with konjac, an ingredient long used in Asian cuisine, and continued developing products around familiar shapes, satisfying textures and convenient preparation.

LIVIVA's dried shirataki line is designed as a pantry product, with no liquid pouch and no refrigeration required. The noodles can be used in pasta dishes, stir-fries and broth bowls. Today, the founder-led company continues to create plant-based pantry staples that make small, practical changes at mealtime feel more approachable.
