Atlantic Natural Foods, manufacturer of the shelf-stable plant-based protein Linda brand, is expanding its distribution to U.K. retail chain Sainsbury’s. This expansion comes on the heels of earlier gains throughout the U.K. over the last two years with placements in Morrisons, Holland and Barret, Aldi, Lidl, Asda, and Costco, among others.
"Atlantic Natural Foods is working to make a difference and feed the world by creating new and healthy protein sources, save our oceans and ensure future sustainability of our fragile resources," said J. Douglas Hines, chairman, Atlantic Natural Foods, in a statement. "We're committed to leading the future by focusing on our goal of providing affordable, sustainable and healthy sources of plant-based protein-rich foods to support the future health of people and planet."
"Alternative fish products are still in their infancy but will prove to be a critical addition to many diets. The addition of Linda’s Tuno product at Sainsbury's is just another proof point that the world is turning more and more to plant-based offerings," adds Hines. "It's only a matter of time before a wide margin of the global population is enjoying a flexitarian, vegetarian or vegan diet, and we're proud to be part of that change."
