New Anthoney’s Farms powers MasterChef Sri Lanka

New Anthoney’s Farms, the only producer in the country to raise chicken without antibiotics at any stage of production, sponsored MasterChef Sri Lanka as official poultry supplier.

MasterChef Sri Lanka is a platform designed to celebrate the best of what Sri Lankan cooking can be. New Anthoney’s Farms has spent 40 years building the case that the best Sri Lankan cooking starts with the best ingredients and that means chicken raised with no antibiotics, no shortcuts and complete transparency from hatchery to household. 

As the show’s contestants push their creativity in the kitchen, they will be doing so with chicken produce that meets the highest standard of independent verification. In January 2026, New Anthoney’s Farms formalised that commitment through a landmark five-year memorandum of understanding with the University of Peradeniya, not because they had to but because giving Sri Lankan families the safest possible chicken has always been the founding principle of the business. Under the agreement, the ISO/IEC 17025-accredited Food Safety and Quality Assurance Laboratory of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science conducts systematic testing at every stage of broiler production, making New Anthoney’s the first and only poultry producer in Sri Lanka to back its claims with ongoing, independent scientific proof.

“We’ve always believed that Sri Lanka is an island full of culinary talent that the world is yet to see. MasterChef Sri Lanka is exactly the platform that talent deserves. For us, being part of this is not just a sponsorship. It is a statement about what Sri Lankan food can be when it starts with the right produce,” said New Anthoney’s Farms Executive Director and Business Development Manager Eranga Kurukulaarachchi.
