Century Pacific Food Inc. said Monday it started distributing plant-based brand unMeat in the United States via Walmart.
CNPF said in a stock exchange filing that since January, its ‘unMEAT Meat-Free Luncheon Meat-Style’ product has been available in more than 2,000 Walmart stores across the US.
“This vote of confidence from Walmart affirms that we are heading in the right direction with respect to our plant-based business. We believe in the long-term potential of plant-based alternatives, and brands like ‘unMEAT’ have a role to play to sustainably address the food requirements of an increasingly growing global population,” said CNPF chief operating officer Greg Banzon.
CNPF’s ‘unMEAT’ is also being distributed in the United Arab Emirates, China, Australia and Singapore.
“Consumers are looking for healthier and better-for-the-planet food options. As a protein delivery company, we need to be present in the plant-based segment and innovate in this space to democratize the category,” he said.
