Abbot's Butcher — the makers of clean, nourishing plant-based proteins — has partnered with Dot Foods, North America's largest food industry redistributor. The launch will put Abbot's Butcher premium plant-based meats on the market for over 5,200 customers across all 50 US states. All of Abbot's Butcher bulk SKUs — "Chorizo," Ground "Beef," Chopped Chick'n, and Italian "Sausage" are now available and stocked at Dot.  

 "We are beyond excited to offer our clean, premium plant-based meats in partnership with Dot Foods. Their supply chain efficiencies allow everyone from national chain restaurants to local eateries access to purchase Abbot's Butcher products from their distributor partners seamlessly. Now, every restaurant, café, and institutional foodservice operator who has requested Abbot's Butcher products can order it with ease," said Garrett Miller, Abbot's Butcher's vice president of sales, foodservice.

This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Abbot's Butcher. While available nationwide through regional and independent retailers including Target and Whole Foods Markets, this is the first time Abbot's Butcher products will be available nationwide for foodservice. The brand has secured a number of foodservice accounts (Freebirds World Burrito, Protein Bar & Kitchen and Chicas Tacos, among others) by working with regional distributors. The partnership with Dot allows Abbot's and foodservice partners to streamline and significantly expedite the ordering and shipping process.

Abbot's Butcher plant-based meats are reconnecting chefs, cooks and customers with their food. Made from only 100% real food ingredients, Abbot's Butcher products are wholesome, nutritious and simple. Each ingredient is hand-selected to produce a hearty, meaty bite and bold flavors. The "Chorizo" is seasoned with Spanish smoked paprika, the Ground "Beef" gets its umami from porcini mushrooms, and the Chopped Chick'n provides a juicy, flavorful bite from extra virgin olive oil and non-GMO pea protein. These foods are made with ingredients chefs understand and customers recognize.

All of Abbot's Butcher plant-based meats are also free from the top nine allergens as well as canola, preservatives and natural/artificial flavors. As the cleanest plant-based meat on the market, carrying Abbot's Butcher allows foodservice operators to cater to every kind of customer, no matter their dietary restrictions or preferences.

"As more and more consumers seek healthier options when dining out, it's become crucial to offer foods that satisfy both taste buds and nutritional needs. Our plant-based proteins deliver on both counts, providing a simple yet delicious solution for health-conscious diners," said Kerry Song, founder & CEO of Abbot's Butcher. "Thanks to this partnership with Dot Foods, we are now able to be featured on menus everywhere, helping to transform the way people eat for the better."
