NATURALLY SPLENDID SECURES DISTRIBUTOR FOR NATERA PLANT BASED FOODS

Naturally Splendid Enterprises Ltd. has listed three Natera plant-based food entrees with a leading Canadian distributor in its multiple British Columbia distribution centres.

Orders have been processed and product has been shipped to this leading food-service distributor.

The products listed are Natera plant-based schnitzel, seasoned tenders and sweet chili tenders. These items will be carried in this distributor's B.C.-based distribution centres in Vancouver, Kelowna and Victoria.

Naturally's extensive range of Natera plant-based foods provides food-service operators with meat-alternative products to meet the growing consumer demand for plant-based menu choices.

Naturally Splendid expects a second container of Natera plant-based foods to arrive in port the first week of December. The second container has three additional plant-based SKUs, fish filets, a panko burger, as well as cheesy bites bringing the total SKUs available to 10.

A growing number of mainstream consumers are buying plant-based, meat-alternative options. In fact, these products are a key driver of growth at grocery retailers nationwide, outpacing overall food growth by more than five times. New Spins retail sales data released March 3, 2020, show that grocery sales of plant-based foods that directly replace animal products have grown 29 per cent in the past two years to $5-billion.

Naturally Splendid chief executive officer Craig Goodwin states: "We are more than pleased having secured this additional distribution for Natera plant-based foods. Our range of plant-based entrees provides a broad variety of selections to meet growing consumer demand. Currently, we have six items in stock at our facilities, which will be extended to 10 SKUs when the second container arrives. As more and more consumers adopt plant-based alternatives into their diets, we believe the range of offerings will need to expand as well. And this is where Natera plant-based foods excels. By continuing to develop and offer a range of plant-based alternatives to beef, chicken, pork and fish in a variety of entrees, we will meet consumer demand by providing a wide range of plant-based options for their dietary needs."

We seek Safe Harbor.
