PlantX Life Inc (CSE:VEGA) (OTCQB:PLTXF) (FRA:WNT1) said it has expanded its Canadian meal delivery vertical with the addition of a second shipping day each week.
The company said the added day will help enhance the outreach to its growing plant-based community.
Through its partnership with UpMeals, a Vancouver-based food technology company that provides prepared meals, PlantX's Canadian meal delivery service allows customers to order either three or five days worth of nutritionally-balanced meals.

The second delivery day will apply to the ‘set and forget’ subscription-based meal program, with meals now being shipped across Canada twice a week.
"Having easy access to healthy, nutritious and fresh meals has never been more relevant and in demand," Julia Frank CEO at PlantX said in a statement. "After the challenging year that we experienced as individuals and as a global community, it is time to slowly recover and enjoy a summer with fewer restrictions, while eating well and feeling amazing and healthy. By increasing access to the PlantX home-delivered meals, we hope to meet our customers' culinary needs and enhance their health and wellbeing throughout this transition period and beyond."
Drew Munro co-founder and CEO of UpMeals also offered his commentary on the increased shipping schedule.
"We are thrilled to see demand for our fresh, healthy and delicious plant-based meals from PlantX customers," he said. "Through our innovative platform, UpMeals produces fresh meals for door-to-door delivery through overnight express shipping so PlantX customers can enjoy healthy meals, entrees and snacks."
Earlier this week, PlantX completed the acquisition of certain assets of Liv Marketplace LLC in a US$3.25 million cash and stock transaction conducted via its wholly-owned New Deli Hillcrest LLC subsidiary.
California-based Liv Marketplace is the exclusive online fulfillment partner and retail distributor of PlantX products within the US and is responsible for building and operating PlantX's 4,515 square foot brick-and-mortar retail store in San Diego.
