16 Jan 2020 --- Advancements in food tech continue to bridge the gap between imitation meats and animal-based products. Valued at US$4.5 billion, Gathered Foods, plant-based seafood producer of the Good Catch brand, recently closed a Series B funding round, which includes two key strategic industry investors, Greenleaf Foods and 301 INC, the venture arm of General Mills. The net proceeds from the investment, totaling over US$32 million, will be used for significant expansion in distribution across North America, Europe and into Asia, alongside the opening of its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility and new product and food service channel launches this year.
