CHICAGO- -Greenleaf Foods, SPC and its brands, Lightlife Foods (“Lightlife”) and Field Roast, have long pioneered the plant-based category. Today the company announces a new era of impact as it opens a sales channel with Dot Foods, the U.S.’s largest food industry redistributor.
“Our brands have earned a loyal fanbase through uncompromising taste and cutting-edge innovation. As more consumers enter the plant-based category, we want to ensure they can find our products everywhere. Dot Foods offers the scale, reach and trusted relationships to help us fulfill that goal,” said Dan Curtin, president of Greenleaf Foods, SPC.
Lightlife and Field Roast products will be available to many of Dot Food’s approximate 4,500 distribution customers on May 15, representing channels that include foodservice, retail and convenience. The partnership offers restaurateurs access to a broader set of options, as exploding interest in plant-based foods continues to impact menus across North America.
Seven Lightlife products will be available through the Dot Foods, including Lightlife’s newly launched plant-based burger—the Lightlife® Burger. With the same great taste and juicy texture as traditional beef, the Lightlife® Burger packs 20g of plant-based protein per serving, with fewer, more familiar ingredients and less saturated fat than products currently on market. Other Lightlife products available across channels include Italian Smart Ground, Original Smart Ground, Smokey Tempeh, Organic Soy Tempeh, Smart Dogs (Jumbo), and Gimme Lean Sausage.
Eight products from Field Roast will also be available. Field Roast uses whole food ingredients—grains, vegetables, legumes and spices—to craft flavor-forward, artisanal, plant-based meat and Chao Creamery cheese products. Products available through Dot include Apple Sage Sausage, Frankfurter, Italian Sausage, Chao Creamy Original Slices, FieldBurger, Mexican Chipotle Sausage, Porcini Dijon Cutlet and Coconut Breaded Cutlet.
Expect further announcements as the company continues its commitment to shaping the future of plant-based foods.
