Chunk Foods Lands Whole Foods Listing in Northeast US, with Nationwide Rollout Set for June

Chunk Foods has successfully secured shelf space at Whole Foods Market locations in the Northeast United States, with plans for a nationwide expansion set for June. The New York-based company is entering the retailer with three SKUs, including their existing bestsellers - steak and pulled products, as well as a new Moroccan Cubes variety that boasts 19 grams of protein per serving. This achievement comes after a prediction made by founder and CEO Amos Golan during a 2021 investor call, where he declared that the company would be on the shelves at Whole Foods within five years.

Specializing in fermentation-based whole-cut meat alternatives, Chunk Foods aims to fill a gap in the plant-based market that has historically focused more on ground formats like burgers and sausages. Whole cuts such as steaks and chicken breasts hold a large share of conventional meat consumption in the US, yet represent only 1% of plant-based meat retail sales. The company's proprietary fermentation process is designed to mimic the texture and eating experience of animal-derived whole cuts, positioning them uniquely in the market. The Northeast rollout is currently underway, with a nationwide expansion expected by June, marking a significant milestone for Chunk Foods and providing premium plant-based options to health-conscious consumers at Whole Foods Market.
