VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Modern Plant-Based Foods Inc., (CSE: MEAT) (" Modern Plant-Based Foods ") or (the "Company "), an award-winning plant-based food company, is pleased to announce the variety 14-pack of soups from kitskitchen sold out in 24 hours after being listed on Costco.ca, proving growing interest in the ready-made soup market. The Company has since increased their inventory supply allocated for Costco to meet the tremendous demand.
KitsKitchen, a portfolio company of Modern Plant-Based Foods, offers a range of plant-based soups made with natural organic ingredients and completely free of dairy, wheat, preservatives, and additives.
"The kitskitchen Costco launch went exceptionally well and we are extremely proud of how the well soups were received by Costco members," stated Joni Berg, Co-Founder of kitskitchen Health Foods Inc. and CEO of the Company. "We are committed to growing our brand across all channels and the partnership with a global powerhouse like Costco allows consumers anywhere in Canada to purchase our plant-based soups and have them delivered directly to their homes. We hope to expand our partnership with Costco with more products in the coming future and this opportunity opens up accessibility to our delicious soups allowing more households to buy our products and we're excited to satisfy the growing demand."
Costco has been pandemic-strong and has seen steady demand as consumers stock up on bulk food and convenient ready-made items such as soups. In recent years, Costco has expanded their selection of plant-based products recognizing the increasing interest in healthy, better-for-you products.
"We are pleased that our products have sold out at Costco in less than 24 hours of listing. This shows the obvious excitement and demand for our soups," said Tara Haddad, Founder of Modern Plant-Based Foods. "Our company is transitioning from a niche product supplier to a global food product server. In recent months we have secured significant partnerships and shelf space with some of the leading grocers and distributors in the food industry. As we continue our transformation of becoming a mainstay on shelves, we will be looking at adding more brands and innovative products to join our existing line of non-GMO plant-based products."
