It is expected that more than 15,000 plant-based enthusiasts will attend the two-day event.
The company highlighted a study conducted by Leger Research that found consumer demand for plant-based foods was growing in Canada and around the world, with two-thirds of Canadians consuming plant-based foods frequently.
Naturally Splendid CEO Craig Goodwin said Canadians were choosing plant-based foods for a number of reasons, including environmental sustainability, human health, and animal welfare.
“Consumers are aware how simple, plant-based choices can have a positive impact on the well-being of our global community,” Goodwin said.
“However, we believe that a major driver growing plant-based sales is taste and consumer experience. In that regard, we believe our plant-based entrees are amongst the best tasting choices in the market today.”
Based in Vancouver, Naturally Splendid is a plant-based food manufacturing and technology company that produces and distributes nutritious and delicious plant-based commodity products.
