Plant-based seafood and meat company OMG Meat has launched its latest product Plant-based Shrimp Dumplings into the Thai market, with the business citing the growing consumer demand for healthy and environmental-conscious products.
OMG Meat’s new product is part of Thai Union Group PCL’s continued response to consumers who are increasingly eating a mix of plant-based foods and meat as part of a flexitarian style of eating.
“We’re excited to be launching Plant-Based Shrimp Dumplings, which is the latest in a growing product line from OMG Meat,” said Maarten Geraets, Managing Director, Alternative Proteins at Thai Union.
“Younger consumers today are looking for food that is healthy not just for themselves but also for the planet, and OMG Meat’s products offer exactly that, with environmentally-friendly sourcing and processing of ingredients that deliver products that have zero cholesterol, are low in calories and high in fiber, protein and calcium.”
OMG Meat was developed by Thai Union’s Global Innovation Center (GIC), which has been working to create plant-based protein that taste and smell like meat.
Thai Union and its subsidiary Chicken of the Sea Frozen Foods also recently established an alliance in North America with plant-based seafood brand, The ISH Food Company.
The ISH Food Company, a certified B Corporation, was established in 2020 to deliver innovative, sustainable and healthy plant-based foods worldwide, starting with plant-based seafood.
