Modern Meat strengthens its brand with the leading food delivery service SPUD

Consumer demand for online food purchases is increasing

22-Oct-2020 - Canada

Modern Meat Inc, an award-winning producer of plant-based meat alternatives, announced today that the company's products will be added to SPUD's online food delivery service and its two Vancouver, British Columbia stores, Be Fresh Cypress and Organic Acres.

Sustainable Produce Urban Delivery (SPUD) is an online food delivery service operating in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, primarily selling sustainable, fresh, local organic fruits and vegetables and food from farmers and local producers. The Vancouver-based company was founded in 1997 and has grown to become the largest online grocery retailer in Canada with more than 700 employees in all its stores. With vertically integrated secondary product lines such as Be Fresh and Organic Acres, SPUD can reduce food costs and waste, which is both environmentally responsible and financially attractive.

We are very pleased that Modern Meat is so well received throughout Western Canada," said Tara Haddad, CEO of Modern Meat. Consumer demand for online food purchases is increasing and the addition of our line of vegetable meat alternatives to SPUD's offering opens up a broader consumer base and expands our brand presence. SPUD offers its customers unparalleled access to a wide range of products due to its size, technology and unique infrastructure.

The two companies have recognised that they share the same goals in several important ways. Both have made nutritious wholefood products their focus and are committed to offering sustainable options to customers. In today's fast-paced world, SPUD.ca offers the convenience of free delivery and Modern Meat makes it easier for consumers to eat healthily. SPUD is also committed to reducing food waste and has the lowest level of food waste (0.5%) of any grocery store in Canada. *

Our goal is to make our vegetable protein products more accessible, which is why we are continuing our expansion efforts to place Modern Meat in the offerings of retailers, independent grocery stores, online stores and food service providers, Tara explains. I am proud that we have been able to find many strategic partners in such a short period of time and have gained a loyal following for our nutritious products.

As consumer preferences continue to shift towards healthier and more sustainable foods, I believe that Modern Meat will become the preferred vegetable meat alternative for flexitarians and carnivores alike.
