Altro Food Launches Shelf Stable Plant Based Meats for the US Market at the Summer 2023 Fancy Food Show.

Cliffside Park NJ (June 9, 2023)-- Altro Food launches its fantastic tasting plant based burgers, sausage, taco meat, nuggets, and meatballs, for the US market at the Fancy Food Show on June 25-27 at the Javitz Center in New York City. These meat alternatives are packaged as shelf stable powdered mixes, just add water & oil, mix, form and cook! They are made with clean ingredients, are soy and gluten free, high in protein and fiber and don’t require cold chain transportation or storage. So they are healthy for the body and the earth.

“The flavors are the amazing part.” said Dominique Debroux of the SFA member company AnnaMaria’s Foods. She found these products in Italy and is now importing them for the US market. “Italians are intense on the fact that food must taste great, or they won’t eat it, no matter how good it is for you. I am not vegan or even vegetarian, yet I often choose to eat these products rather than meat because they taste so good. And they digest wonderfully!” All these products will be available for sampling at booth 5447, Plant Based Pavilion, at the Fancy Food Show.

Altro Food is a recent division of DiemmeFood, a company from Milano, Italy that has been creating high quality flavorings since the early 2000s. Altro’s mission is to innovate and offer gourmet plant based offerings that are high in quality and nutrition, and gentle on the planet. Altro is starting with these meat alternatives and hopes to follow up soon with their powdered  cheese sauce and egg alternatives already available in Italy. “Refrigerated shipping, transport and storage is so carbon heavy for the planet, these Altro Food products not only feed the desires of plant based consumers, they also take much better care of our environment.” said food scientist Dario Mimini, founder of Diemmefood.

 All Altro plant based meat alternatives are available for both retail and food service. These products are quick and easy to make and also to customize allowing each consumer or establishment to adjust them to their own flavor profile.
