The new trend of plant-based food products has a new addition: shrimp.
Tyson Foods announced its investment in New Wave Foods, which focuses on producing plant-based shellfish, and plans to have a shrimp alternative ready for foodservice operators in early 2020, according to a press release.
“We’re excited about this investment in the fast-growing segment of the plant-based protein market," Amy Tu, president of Tyson Ventures said in a statement."This continues our focus of identifying and investing in companies with disruptive products and breakthrough technologies related to our core business so we can continue to serve a growing global population."
"Our plant-based shrimp cooks and tastes just like the real thing, and it matches the texture, taste, performance and versatility of shrimp fresh from the ocean," she continued in her statement.
