Atlantic Natural Foods, the leading manufacturer of award-winning, non-perishable, plant-based products, has launched several innovations, including the first ‘Chik’n Product’ can under the Loma Linda brand. Chik’n is designed for people looking for delicious plant-based alternatives to enhance a healthy lifestyle. Loma Linda brand breaks into the canned protein aisle with the first plant-based, non-perishable canned chicken, addressing the global need for more sustainable, animal cruelty-free and affordable protein-rich foods
This expansion of the company’s popular plant-based products comes amid shortages and rising prices for animal and plant-based proteins as a result of ongoing supply chain problems and worker shortages.
“The global supply chain collapse that began more than two years ago constrained food creation and impacted marketing strategies that forever changed buying patterns,” confirms Kelly Krause, EVP, chief innovation officer at ANF. “Alternatives to support our traditional food supply are necessary to provide more sustainable nutrition options on a global scale, so we are excited to bring our Chik’n to market quickly in support of these efforts. Since chicken is one of the most consumed meats in the world, this non-perishable protein is the perfect addition to your pantry, available at an affordable price that fits all lifestyles,” he adds.
Made from sustainably sourced vegetable proteins, Loma Linda Chik’n is vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO and convenient to eat straight from the can or serve hot. It is an excellent complement to salads, wraps and sandwiches, and is versatile enough to add to appetizers, pizzas and casseroles.
