Komo Plant Based Foods Completes First Production Run at Co-Manufacturer and Fulfills First Distributor Orders

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 19, 2021 / Komo Plant Based Foods Inc. (CSE:YUM)(OTCQB:KOMOF)(FRA:9HB) ("Komo"), a premium frozen plant-based food company, is pleased to announce that it has successfully ramped up production through its new co-manufacturing partner and completed fulfilment last week of purchase orders for all four of its distributors.

This shipment of products have been produced with newly updated, retail-ready packaging and refreshed formulas.
