Atlantic Natural Foods has introduced a new range of plant-based, canned “Chik’n” products under its Loma Linda brand.
The new line is available in three varieties: Loma Linda Chik’n in Broth, Loma Linda Chik’n BBQ and Loma Linda Chik’n Buffalo.
Chik’n in Broth features large “chicken” pieces in a mild vegetable broth. Chik’n BBQ contains a thick, rich sauce made from sweet peppers, brown sugar and vinegar, complete with lighter notes of garlic, chilli and smoke. Lastly, Chik’n Buffalo uses a classic buffalo sauce that is tangy, zesty and provides a “punch of heat”.
The range is made from sustainably sourced plant proteins and is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO and can be eaten hot or cold.
Kelly Krause, EVP and chief innovation officer at Atlantic Natural Foods, said: “Alternatives to support our traditional food supply are necessary to provide more sustainable nutrition options on a global scale, so we’re excited to bring our Chik’n to market quickly in support of these efforts. With chicken being among one of the most consumed meats in the world, this shelf-stable protein is the perfect addition to your pantry, available at an affordable price that fits all lifestyles.”
Retail prices will range from $2.49-$2.99 per can.
