Modern Plant Based Foods moves into second phase of increased production

VANCOUVER — Modern Meat, a subsidiary of Modern Plant Based Foods Inc., has scaled up production of its plant-based meats with its new Canadian copacker.

The Modern Meat portfolio currently includes the Modern Crab Cakes, Modern Burger, Modern Mini Burger, Modern Crumble, Modern Meatballs and Modern Gyoza amongst other recipes in the development portfolio.

After initial R&D phases with the new partnered facility, the first production run with the new copacker is set for October 2022 for the Modern Crab Cake.

After working with the co-packing facility for several months, the company has secured and allocated production time for their initial production run and will be prioritizing top-selling SKUs.

Modern Foods currently distributes its plant-based meats through Gordon’s Food Service and Sysco Distributors. The Modern Crab Cakes will be prioritized for the initial production run as they have proven to be the most sought-after product from retailers and customers alike, according to the company.

“Our companies are very aligned with the vision that plant based is here to stay. Modern Plant Based Foods is one of the first companies to the “Better-For-You” vegan plant based alternative space and has remained one of the leaders in the space. Modern Plant Based is in a strong financial position poised for growth, and with this new added production we will likely see an increase in sales as other brands and competitors continue to drop off, ” said CEO, Avtar Dhaliwal in a statement.

“We are proud to have stayed tried and true to our vision and are able to provide better-for-you food products to our valued consumers. Modern Foods continues to find innovative and more efficient routes to market.”
