Miyoko’s Creamery Launches First Product Range Since Namesake Founder’s Exit and Lawsuit

Miyoko's Creamery has launched a new product range, the Plant Milk Cheese Spreads, after resolving legal disputes with its namesake founder, Miyoko Schinner. The new cheese spreads are cashew-based and come in four flavors, inspired by the company's artisanal cheese wheels. This launch marks a new era for the company under CEO Stuart Kronauge, following Schinner's exit and lawsuit with the business's board.

The legal disputes between Miyoko's Creamery and Miyoko Schinner included allegations of breach of contract, violation of trade secrets, and stealing company IP. Schinner claimed she was forced out due to sexism and discrimination by male executives, while the board stated she lacked the necessary skills to lead the company. With the appointment of a new CEO and the launch of the new product range, Miyoko's Creamery aims to move forward and continue its success in the alt-dairy industry.
