Hooked Foods has just announced a big expansion of its portfolio to include new vegan seafood options, as well as some new plant-based chicken products.
Slatted to be available at Sweden’s two biggest retail chains — ICA Gruppen and Coop Sverige – this October, Hooked Foods latest offerings will be widely accessible to Swedish consumers. Half of the new lineup consists of vegan seafood options, including the smoked salmon-inspired Veggie Bites Smoked and the tuna-inspired Veggie Bites Sea Flavor. The other half of Hooked Foods' new lineup includes the chicken-inspired Veggie Bites Original and the plant-based chicken filet alternative dubbed the Veggie Filet Original. As Hooked Foods' CEO Tom Johansson says of the new lineup, "The market is constantly evolving, and it’s our job to keep up with those changes. By listening to our retail partners and our consumers, we’ve been able to create products that meet their needs and exceed their expectations."
