Atlantic Natural Foods, LLC, manufacturer of award-winning, shelf-stable, plant-based products, announced the availability of its Modern Menu brand, specifically designed for foodservice operators. Launched in July 2021, Modern Menu now features an expanded assortment of delicious and versatile meatless proteins and meal starters that ship fully cooked in 43 oz. pouches. Among the offerings: the industry's first-ever, shelf-stable "CHIK'N" product; TUNO—a tuna alternative; as well as Taco Filling, Southwest Bowl, Sloppy Joe, and more, tailor-made for food service, be it healthcare, education, contract catering, convenience, quick serve, or independent restaurants. The expanded foodservice line is based on the company's sustainable and nutritious CPG line, which has grown in popularity in recent years due to increasing consumer demand for tasty, plant-based foods at an affordable price. Modern Menu foods will be available for sampling at National Restaurant Expo in Chicago from May 21–24, 2022 in the South Building, booth #1286 (Organic & Natural).
The industry’s first shelf-stable chicken alternative for foodservice operators is made from sustainably sourced plant proteins, is gluten-free, and non-GMO. It can be used right out of the pouch or served warm, making it a versatile ingredient for salads, wraps, soups, and sandwiches, as well as appetizers, pizzas, casseroles, and more.
