Komo Plant
Based Foods Receives Export Authorization for US
Expansion
Vancouver,
B.C. - September 14, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Komo Plant
Based Foods Inc. (CSE:
YUM) (OTC:KOMOF) (FSE:9HB)
("Komo"),
a fast growing plant-based food company, is pleased to announce that on
September 7, 2021 it received a
Safe Food for Canadians License from the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency ("CFIA") to export Komo Foods to other countries, including
the United States.
The license, granted under The
Safe Food for Canadians Regulations ("SFCR"), also authorizes Komo
to ship food it makes in its commercial kitchen to all provinces
and territories in Canada, making it possible for Komo to now enter
into agreements with national grocery retailers. Having this license supports Komo's
aggressive growth plan to expand sales across Canada and into the
U.S.
"The US market represents a huge market
opportunity for Komo and we are excited to move forward with
aggressive U.S. expansion," says Komo Plant Based Foods CEO William
White, "the transition to plant-based diets from diets rich with
animal proteins can have a significant impact on climate
change. We are so pleased to give more consumers the
ability to make healthy planetary food choices without giving up
the comfort, taste and quality of hearty foods they
love."
Komo is currently working with a
sales broker experienced in natural food distribution to onboard
national grocery chains in Canada and is now in discussions to
secure U.S. sales representation.
Komo incorporates the concept of
modern comfort into its packaging design, and is now designing
packaging for the US to comply with the US FDA labeling
requirements. Each frozen meal has a shelf life of one year and is
prepared with the safest food preparation based on HACCP
principles.
The CFIA is a global leader in regulating food, animal
and plant health and safety. The SFCR is designed to improve food product
quality and safety. To be licensed, companies must have a rigorous
food safety program based on HACCP principles.
The SFCR gives CFIA the authority
to certify all foods for export, as is increasingly required by
more foreign countries, streamlining the system and making export
easier for Canadian manufacturers.
