????????CHUNK FOODS BRINGS WHOLE-CUT STEAK TO US SUPERMARKETS Chunk Foods, which makes plant-based steak products that replicate the whole muscle structure of beef, is making its retail debut in the US. It is introducing four cuts of its vegan steak that lean into consumer demand for high-protein and clean-label options, containing eight ingredients (plus fortifications) and up to 37g of protein per serving. “We are focusing on local and independent grocers in Los Angeles and New York City as part of our initial retail strategy,” founder and CEO Amos Golan tells Green Queen. “These retailers align with our goal of engaging with communities that are passionate about high-quality, plant-based options. E-commerce will follow in late November, with plans to expand to national retailers in 2025.” Last year, Chunk Foods completed the construction of what it says is one of the world’s largest factories of its kind. It has also teamed up with plant protein company Better Balance Foods to create new whole-cut meat analogues for the Mexican market.

We're so proud to be part of something this huge! ??
Retail is a major strategic mistake by Chunk Foods . Foodservice is where they can elevate and maintain their brand - retail is where it will be greatly lowered and alienate the foodservice operators. If they want to play in Retail - than it should be through strategic partnerships where their product is a component/they're not the primary brand.

4 个月Exciting news from Chunk Foods! While I understand the Plant-Based Meat and Cheese Association’s viewpoint on the potential challenges of entering retail, I believe the phased, intentional rollout by Chunk Foods shows a thoughtful approach. The uniqueness and quality of this product can reach an even wider audience, and I’m confident that retail will allow more consumers to experience something truly innovative. Looking forward to the day it’s available locally — there’s really nothing else like it!
