10:20 AM EST - Plant & Co. Ltd. : Announced that it has signed an agreement with the University of Manitoba to develop a proprietary hemp protein concentrate that will form the basis of an all-natural hemp-based line of gluten free food products, rich in protein and offering a healthy alternative to the current egg and milk based products currently saturating the market. "We are focused on establishing a premium brand of quality of plant-based food products through M&A opportunities such as Holy Crap Brands, and at the same time organically, through home grown initiatives like developing hemp-based food products with the University of Manitoba," said Shawn Moniz, CEO of Plant & Co. Brands. "The Richardson Centre of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals is well known for its development of unique and proprietary healthy food products. I expect the resulting product to be a key ingredient - our 'secret sauce' if you will - in a line of healthy, gluten-free, plant-based food products." Plant & Co. Ltd.
