Plant-based ‘tuna’
Good Catch is making a splash in the world of seafood with the introduction of its chef-mastered, shelf-stable Plant Based Tuna.

 On a mission to protect the oceans’ natural resources while still enjoying its delectable flavors, the Good Catch team has created plant-based proteins that indulge the taste buds and deliver seafood taste, texture, and nutrition with minimal impact on the planet and fragile ocean ecosystems.

Cofounded by chefs Chad and Derek Sarno, Good Catch products deliver the ocean flavor and flaky texture of chunk albacore tuna. Available in convenient 3.3-ounce pouches, the ready-to-eat Plant Based Tuna is crafted with a proprietary six-legume blend that includes omega-3 fatty acids and 14 grams of protein per serving.

“We’ve created a true tuna texture and taste profile,” says Chad Sarno. “Good Catch products are a one-to-one swap in any recipe that calls for tuna and can be the centerpiece of any entrée, sandwich, chowder, or salad. Plant Based Tuna is the culmination of our experience as plant-based chefs, combined with our passion for healthy eating as well as animal and environmental welfare. We’re redefining seafood for omnivores and plant-based eaters alike.”

Offered in three flavors—Naked in Water, Mediterranean, and Oil & Herbs—Plant Based Tuna is available for a suggested retail price of $4.99 at Whole Foods Market and www.thrivemarket.com and will debut at other grocers nationwide.

Calling meat lovers!
Smart Flour is adding Three Meat Pizza to its lineup of ancient-grain, gluten-free pizzas. Made with minimally processed meats and simple ingredients, the new flavor pairs sweet Italian sausage with nitrate-/nitrite-free, spicy uncured pepperoni and mouthwatering bacon.

Like all of Smart Flour’s frozen pizzas, Three Meat Pizza starts with a Non-GMO Project Verified crust made with the brand’s unique, ancient-grain flour blend of sorghum, amaranth, and teff. It’s then topped with an indulgent blend of hormone-free, low-moisture and part-skim mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan, and Romano cheeses. The pizza is free of added MSG, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and many common allergens, including nuts, soy, and eggs.
