Superlatus, Inc., a food
technology and distribution company that recently merged with a
subsidiary of pharmaceutical exchange platform provider
TRxADE HEALTH, Inc. (Nasdaq:
MEDS), today announced it plans to enter the worldwide pet
foods market, specializing in plant-based, high-protein foods and
snacks.
Superlatus will launch the expansion with
assorted flavors of baked plant-based treats, then intends to
follow with a full offering of veterinarian formulated,
plant-based, high-protein full meal offerings. All products will
feature reduced calorie and saturated fat content compared to
traditional animal-based pet meals and treats and will utilize
plant-based ingredients from strategic supply partners.
The company is currently in discussion with
several major national pet food chains to participate as a
launch partner for the products, said Superlatus.
All the new treat offerings will utilize an
advanced food extrusion technology from Sapientia Technology, LLC,
a wholly owned subsidiary of Superlatus. This technology, developed
by well-known food scientist Dr. Gino Bortone, enables Superlatus
to create dense, protein rich, plant-based dog treats.
“We are excited to enter this market,” stated
Superlatus CEO Tim Alford. “According to a broad array of
established data sources, the plant-based segment of the pet food
industry is growing significantly faster than the traditional
animal-based segment.”
One such source, Future Market Insights
(FMI), recently announced that, in 2023, the vegan dog food
market was estimated to be worth $13.58 billion and is anticipated
to register a CAGR of 7 percent for the next 10 years,
reaching a value of $ 26.35 billion by 2033.
In contrast, reported FMI, the conventional,
animal-based dog food market, which has a current value of $68.27
billion, is anticipated to expand with a CAGR of only 4.35 percent
to 2033. This slower rate of projected growth, added FMI, is
attributable primarily to both widespread consumer awareness of the
health advantages of vegan pet foods as well as the increased
numbers of online sales channels available for such foods.
“As a company with a core mission to create a
healthier and more sustainable future for our planet, we are
extremely proud to offer consumers these better-for-your-pet food
products,” continued Mr. Alford. “We believe they will rank among
the healthiest and most delicious products our pets can eat.
“We anticipate the initial line of vegan pet
treats will likely be available by Q1 2024 with the vegan full meal
offerings hitting the market by later in 2024.”
