NEXE Innovations Inc (TSX-V:NEXE, OTC:NEXNF), a leader in plant-based materials manufacturing, has revealed that its popular XOMA Superfoods product line is now approved for listing with top Canadian e-commerce retailer Walmart.ca.
"We are thrilled at this exciting opportunity to leverage Walmart.ca as a distribution vehicle to reach more consumers across Canada and pursue our phased retail rollout. XOMA Superfoods makes it easy to enjoy plant-based superfoods at home,” Scott Naccarato, who is the director of retail sales for NEXE, said in a statement. “The brand offers a line of five nutrient-dense, convenient, functional beverages, packaged exclusively in NEXE's made-in-North America, fully-compostable, plant-based NEXE pods."
The company noted that XOMA comes from the Greek word for "soil" or "earth," and represents a more “ethical way to incorporate convenient, great-tasting coffee and superfoods into the modern diet.”

"We created XOMA Super foods to allow consumers the opportunity to enjoy gourmet, nutritional superfoods at home in a fast, easy, and sustainable way," said Ash Guglani, president of NEXE. "Walmart is one of the leading retailers in the world and they have specific benchmarks for the vendors that they work with both online and in-store. Our listing on Walmart.ca is a vote of confidence for NEXE as well as our products and paves the way for other retailers and online vendors to carry our pods."
NEXE pods are made from 100% compostable materials to enable the pods to break down completely in composting facilities in 35 days.
