Take and bake: World’s first USDA Certified plant-based pizza made with CBD ingredients debuts
17 Jan 2020 --- Trending CBD ingredients are making their way to the pizza space. The Pizza Plant, headquartered in California, US, has debuted its latest pizza innovation – a CBD-infused, 13-topping, plant-based Nacho Pizza, which has been hailed as a “world first”. The USDA Certified Organic Take and Bake Plant-Based Pizzas are available at Whole Foods Market in three states; California, Arizona and Nevada.
The Pizza Plant is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plant Craft Foods. With its 100 percent USDA Certified Organic, whole-food, plant-based pizza, the company is committed to “bringing family and friends back to the table and to making the world better one pizza at a time,” the company notes.
The announcement comes as pizza innovation is in the spotlight. Earlier this week, FoodIngredientsFirst reported that Toronto-based pizza chain Pizza Pizza launched a new crust to appeal to keto dieters. The move was the latest in foodservice to provide consumers with grain-free and low-carb options, in addition to continuous NPD, which is inspired by the trending, high-fat diet.
Four USDA Certified Organic, “whole-food, nutrient-dense, made-with-love, crave-able, plant-based pizzas” inspired by The Pizza Plant's Founder's upbringing will be available fresh in the prepared foods department and pizza stations of Whole Foods Market, the company notes.
The four pizza’s are:
