Chobani has entered the peanut butter aisle with Chobani Ends Child Hunger Peanut Butter Flavored Nutrient Spreads as part of partnership with Edesia Nutrition.
The spreads help solve child hunger while offering a safe and nutritious way to introduce peanuts to infants, according to Chobani. The yogurt maker will donate 100 percent of profits from the spreads to Edesia for production of Plump’Nut, its fortified peanut butter that is shipped to 60 countries to help children with acute malnutrition.
Chobani’s peanut butter flavored nutrient spreads are formulated to reduce the choking hazard associated with the early introduction of peanuts recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
"Edesia was the first non-profit participant in our Incubator program in 2019, and we knew we had to work together because our missions are very aligned," said Chobani Founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya, in a statement. "Childhood hunger in the U.S. and malnutrition globally are dual crises, and we have the opportunity and the responsibility to take additional action through this beautiful partnership."
