Harris Teeter Supermarkets throughout the Southeastern U.S are sourcing Unmeat's fish-free canned Tuna in Sunflower Oil and Tuna in Water. The tuna is non-GMO, lower in fat and calories than canned tuna, and free of mercury and trans-fat, according to Unmeat.
The food maker hopes to provide vegans and flexitarians an expanded selection of plant-based alternatives, as well as appeal to curious shoppers hoping to diversify their diet, according to Unmeat.
“We are very excited to have unMEAT fish-free Tuna available in Harris Teeter stores, making plant-based, shelf-stable protein more accessible to Americans across seven states,” said Gregory Branzon, COO of Century Pacific Group, parent company of Unmeat, in a statement. “We hope that with a budget-friendly option easily found at their regular grocery store, more consumers will opt to incorporate more plant-based meals in their diet.”
