Initial Rollout Throughout Ontario and Quebec in Major Urban Centres
TORONTO, June 20, 2022 /CNW/ - Global Food and Ingredients Ltd. (TSXV: PEAS) ("GFI"), is pleased to announce the launch of its YoFiit brand plant-based milk in Costco in Eastern Canada this weekend with key urban area warehouses rolled-out.
YoFiit plant-based milk is made with chickpeas, pea protein and flax, providing a uniquely nutritious plant-based milk differentiated from its competitors. "With 10 times more protein than the typical almond milk, 3 to 4 times more protein than oat milk and zero added sugar, YoFiit plant-based milk is the perfect add-on to smoothies for a nutrition boost. It also froths extremely well, making it a versatile product," commented Marie Amazan, President of YoFiit.
YoFiit plant-based milk is available in a larger format at Costco with six units per box, providing a convenient package for consumers who are incorporating it in their daily routine for smoothies and other applications.
"We're very excited to see the continued growth in our YoFiit brand through this milestone listing at Costco. The team at YoFiit has done a tremendous job in developing this leading-edge product with an unparalleled nutritional profile in the marketplace," commented David Hanna, GFI's CEO. "YoFiit's advanced plant-based product line is a cornerstone in GFI's strategy of deploying ag tech to create unique products that connect our business from farm to fork," he added.
