With global food giants pushing into plant-based foods, the industry could grow 100 times larger by 2050, according to Credit Suisse, as reported by Financial Review. In addition, “A report on the shifts in the global food industry forecasts that global sales will climb from $14 billion to $1.4 trillion within 30 years for plant based food,” added the Financial Review. Helping, food giants are investing heavily in plant based foods, including Nestle, which is building a $100 billion plant in China to produce meat-free options, according to The Beet. It’s all substantial news for companies like Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM), Very Good Food Company Inc. (TSXV:VERY)(OTC:VRYYF), Guru Organic Energy Corp. (TSX:GURU)(OTC:GUROF), Rritual Superfoods Inc. (CSE:RSF)(OTC:RRSFF), and Laird Superfood Inc. (NYSE:LSF).
In addition, Tyson, Smithfield, Perdue, and Hormel have jumped on the plant-based bandwagon. Even fast food chains like McDonald’s introduced a McPlant meatless burger. Jimmy Dean added plant-based patties, including the Jimmy Dean Plant-Based Patty, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwich and Jimmy Dean Delights Plant-Based Patty & Frittata Sandwich. All as more Americans choose “breakfast time to incorporate plant-based options versus other meals,” noted a recent Jimmy Dean press release. Plus, late last year, Unilever set an annual global sales target of $1.2 billion from plant-based meat and dairy over the next few years.
Komo Plant Based Foods (CSE:YUM) Launches Plant-Based Walnut Mushroom Bolognese
Komo Plant Based Foods Inc. just announced the launch of a new product, Plant-Based Walnut Mushroom Bolognese, which is the first in a new line of products by Komo: Plant-Based Meal Helpers.
Komo is dedicated to making plant-based eating uncompromisingly easy, wholesome and hearty.

Komo’s wholesome, hearty, bolognese is ready to serve as consumers just heat and mix with any pasta for an easy plant-based meal. In addition to being 100% plant-based, the Bolognese sauce is also gluten-free and soy-free.
The sauce can be also used as a versatile meal starter to allow the creation of many dishes at home such as spaghetti bolognese, baked casseroles, as well as non-pasta recipes like stuffed peppers and meatless meatloaf. The key protein ingredients in the sauce are walnuts, red lentils and textured pea protein. Like all Komo products, the sauce is free from preservatives, artificial colours and flavours.
“At Komo, we’re on a mission to share the love of plant-based foods and make plant-based meals a staple on every dinner table. In March, we launched our ready-to-bake comfort classics including our plant-based Lasagna, Shepherd’s Pie and Chick’n Pot Pie. We are excited to share the first product in our product line of Plant-based Meal Helpers: Walnut Mushroom Bolognese Sauce. We know consumers are cooking at home more than ever and this trend will continue even after the pandemic. Consumers are also looking to spend less time on meal preparation and our Plant-based Meal Helpers product line was created to address this insight,” says Komo Comfort Foods CEO Jeffrey Ma. “All our products at Komo will satisfy three uncompromising product core values: Easy, Wholesome and Hearty. Our bolognese is satisfying, ready-to-heat for dinner in 20 minutes and made with real, recognizable plant-based ingredients. Like all our other products, our bolognese is truly easy-to-love!”
