Daring Brings Plant-Based Chicken To Whole Foods Market
The Brand Expands Retail Footprint and Adds Original and Original Breaded Pieces to Select Locations Nationwide
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Daring, the leader in clean, plant-based chicken, announces its Original Pieces and Original Breaded Pieces are available for consumers to purchase in select Whole Foods Market locations across the U.S. starting August 2021. Daring's entry into Whole Foods Market is a significant retail growth moment for the brand, landing in the beloved retailer just 18 months after launching.
Daring will add to Whole Foods Market's renowned portfolio of premium ingredient products with its Original Pieces and Original Breaded Pieces, both available in 8 oz. packages. Daring products are 100% plant-based, high-protein (11-14g per serving) and made of all natural non-GMO ingredients.
"Entering such an iconic retailer that is known for its healthy, high-quality products is a major milestone for Daring," said Justin Neal, Head of Retail at Daring. "Whole Foods Market is the pinnacle of better-for-you products and they have been a huge proponent of the plant-based food category. We're thrilled that Daring will now be available to their loyal customers."
The expansion into Whole Foods Market comes on the heels of Daring's $40M Series B funding round in May 2021, led by D1 Capital Partners. Global entertainer Drake also joined the round, along with existing investors Maveron and Palm Tree Crew to support Daring's leading position in the plant-based industry and expansion into more retailers nationwide.
In addition to Whole Foods Market, Daring has added more than 1,000 retail locations this year, including Kroger, Wegmans, Bristol Farms and Erewhon. Daring will add additional national retailers to its roster in the coming months, increasing consumer accessibility through both brick-and-mortar and direct-to-consumer offerings.
