San Francisco, California-based Current Foods will unveil its latest product, Current Classic Smoked Salmon, March 9-11 at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, California. The food science company’s latest innovation, made 100 percent from plants, follows up on its sushi-grade Current Tuna, which is available throughout the U.S.
To get a preview of this product, Current Foods will be found at booth No. N2125 in the Hot Products Pavilion, North Hall of the Anaheim Convention Center. Former Nobu chef Brian Ogawa will be preparing and serving creations crafted with Current Foods products.
This smoked salmon is made from plants, with low fat and sodium and no cholesterol. Current Classic Smoked Salmon plays well with sushi, poke, salads and bagels. It’s ready to eat straight out of the fridge, made in the USA and can made without any artificial ingredients.
Current Classic Smoked Salmon has a longer shelf life than its ocean-caught counterpart and is a more sustainable way to consume seafood. Salmon is one of the most popular seafood types around the world, and for over a century, runs have been steadily declining. As a result, various species are listed as at-risk of extinction under the Endangered Species Act.
As consumers grow more aware of this, unsustainable fishing becomes unacceptable for an increasing number of them. Today, roughly six in 10 Americans agree that to save the ocean, we have to consume fish only from sustainable sources.
“Like our inaugural tuna made from plant products, our salmon goes toe-to-toe with traditional fish. We focused our research and development process not only on capturing ocean-caught salmon’s unique taste and texture, but also its nutritional benefits, all while skipping the microplastics and industrial fishing’s carbon emissions. Our product is healthy for you and the planet,” said Jacek Prus, CEO and co-founder of Current Foods, who founded the company three years ago along with food technologist Sònia Hurtado.
The food science startup has expanded its presence to cover both the U.S. and Europe.
Ogawa will be on hand and giving out Current Foods samples March 9-11.
