Bumble Bee Foods has announced a joint venture partnership with Gathered Foods, maker of Good Catch plant-based seafood products. Bumble Bee will leverage its sales, distribution, and logistics expertise to ensure that U.S. consumers have access to Good Catch products at affordable prices.
“This partnership is a win for Bumble Bee, Good Catch, consumers, and the health of our oceans,” said Jan Tharp, president and CEO of Bumble Bee Foods, in a company press release. “It is critically important that as an industry we continue to find innovative solutions to decouple growth with environmental impact. Providing great-tasting alternative ways for consumers to enjoy ocean-inspired foods is a key pillar of our long-term commitment to ocean health.”
“Innovative, mission-driven startups generally enter the market with limited access,” said Chris Kerr, CEO and co-founder of Gathered Foods, in the press release. “In forming this partnership with a forward-thinking and deeply rooted company like Bumble Bee, we can reach far more consumers who want fish-alternative products. We’re excited Bumble Bee is taking this bold step for the industry, for the oceans, and the beautiful beings that live in it.”
