In danger of extinction
Product Manager Annemiek Vervoort: “All tuna species are (heavily) overfished and a large number of species are threatened with extinction. Our vegetable tuna has the same bite and taste as real tuna. The product is suitable for eating cold and is therefore immediately ready to eat for anyone who wants to enjoy the taste of tuna “in a sustainable way.”
New product segment
Schouten is entering a new segment with its first fish substitute and will further expand its range of plant-based fish substitutes in the coming year. “We see that the demand for fish substitutes is increasing. It makes sense that in addition to replacing meat, people also think about replacing fish. We are starting with a plant-based tuna because we thereby contribute directly to a sustainable solution for a global problem”, says Vervoort.
