Outstanding Foods produces plant-based snack products formulated from wholesome 100% plant-based ingredients and marketed as packed with protein and other health benefits. Its product portfolio includes PigOut® Pigless® Pork Rinds and TakeOut™ Meal-In-A-Bag™ Puffs, all free from gluten, soy, GMOs, trans fats, and cholesterol. The company’s products are sold at national retailers, including Walmart, Kroger, Whole Foods and southwest 7-11 locations. Co-founded by Bill Glaser and Chef Dave Anderson, Outstanding Foods plans to use newly raised capital to bolster its research and development team. Management also intends to expand the company’s retail presence and broaden direct-to-consumer marketing efforts. The company completed a $10M Series A to support those growth initiatives. Outstanding Foods develops plant-based snack products, including PigOut Pigless Pork Rinds launched earlier in the year. Led by CEO and co-founder Bill Glaser, the company emphasizes snacks made from 100% plant-based ingredients that are packed with protein and free from gluten, soy, GMOs, trans fats and cholesterol. The company is preparing to roll out new products beyond PigOut. Outstanding Foods recently closed a financing round to support its growth. Proceeds are intended for R&D, nationwide marketing, retail expansion and team development. The company is based in Los Angeles, CA. Outstanding Foods is a US-based vegan food manufacturer planning to launch a plant-based bacon chip called Pig Out in June 2018. The Pig Out chips are made from mushrooms, sunflower oil, safflower oil and spices and were developed with input from Dave Anderson. The company aims to place the product in the mainstream salty snacks aisle rather than specialty alternative-snack sections to gain mass-market appeal. Initial sales will be through OutstandingFoods.com, followed by availability on Thrive Market and in physical stores, with outreach to distributors such as Whole Foods Markets. Pig Out will be priced at $4.99 per package and marketed via top-tier influencers, targeting Millennials with an attractive and playful concept. Outstanding Foods plans to expand into a wider range of similar products; the company highlights nutritional components such as B vitamins, antioxidants and lovastatin, and reports many tasting respondents thought they were eating real bacon.
