\u201cChina is one of the most exciting and strategic markets for the plant-based revolution, and a key pillar of our growth strategy,\u201d said Kees Kruythoff, CEO and Chairman of LIVEKINDLY Collective. \u201cWe are proud to launch these new flagship brands, which have been developed and manufactured for Chinese consumers, by Chinese experts. As we say: China for China, and at China speed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re coming off a phenomenal first year, having become one of the top three highest-funded and fastest-growing plant-based food companies in the world,\u201d said Roger Lienhard, Founder and Executive Chairman of Blue Horizon Group and Founder of LIVEKINDLY Collective. \u201cOur portfolio and model are global, and with the launch of our China office and delicious new products, we are closer than ever to achieving our mission of making plant-based living the new norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to launch in China with these incredible brands and delicious innovative products that we have crafted from scratch, in China for China,\u201d said Joanna LiuQiao, Regional Director, Greater China at LIVEKINDLY Collective. \u201cChina has a long history in plant-based cuisine and has been cooking with ingredients like seitan, tofu and tempeh well before it was mainstream. We understand what works and doesn\u2019t work for this market, and our new brands are delicious, high-quality and tailored to local consumer tastes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today also marks the adoption of China\u2019s first standard for labeling \u201cplant-based meat products<\/a>,\u201d which are now defined as food products that use plant-sourced materials or their processed products as sources of protein or fat. This standard, issued by the Chinese Institute of Food Science and Technology (\u201cCIFST\u201d), signals the rapid growth in demand for plant-based meat in China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
