“As demand continues to grow for our Modern Meat products, we have been working to find a suitable additional copacker for our plant-based meats. With the unique specifications and high standard of food safe compliance we maintain, it has a been long arduous search to find a partner that can deal with our potential scale and as well maintain the high-quality Modern Meat is known for.” States CEO Avtar Dhaliwal. “We feel confident in our sales funnel and ongoing conversation with vendors and by securing this copacker we will be able to keep up with production to meet our potential demand.”
