Bay Area-based Renegade Foods announced the launch of their shelf-stable vegan salamis that can now be stored, shipped, and merchandised without refrigeration. This marks a first of its kind in the vegan culinary world, as currently only animal-meat salami can be stored on the shelf. Honoring the centuries-old traditions from Europe, the company utilizes wholesome organic ingredients and traditional meat preservation techniques, ensuring the flavors and textures are created naturally and with minimal processing.
"Shelf-stable is a [game-changer] for our business, our customers and the category," said Iona Campbell, CEO and co-founder of Renegade Foods. "Instantly we can decrease our environmental impact by reducing our packaging by over 80% and removing the need for cold storage. For retailers, they can now easily [cross-merchandise] our salamis throughout the store to improve velocity ... And this breakthrough comes without sacrificing the incredible flavors and nutritional profiles of our products," Campbell said
