From vegconomist.com

Food tech company Armored Fresh announces the debut of its Almond Milk American Slices at popular US fast food chain Slutty Vegan where it will top meatless burgers and sandwiches.

“The partnership was a perfect match” 

After recently launching a US-wide e-commerce platform to deliver its almond milk cheese made with a “world-changing” kimchi technology to the masses,  the company continues to expand into the US market through food service.

Culinary disruptors

“As culinary disruptors in the vegan food industry, the pairing of Armored Fresh and Slutty Vegan is a natural progression for both companies,” says the plant-based cheese innovator.

Armored Fresh has achieved several technological breakthroughs to make a vegan cheese that offers the same taste, aroma, consistency, and melting properties as dairy cheese. According to YouGov, 67 % of Americans say cheese is their favourite burger topping; AF says it provides an alternative to meet that demand.

Slutty Vegan has revolutionized vegan food culture by creating one-of-a-kind dishes adored by plant-based and meat-eaters alike, with celebrity fans including Snoop Dogg, Jermaine Dupri, Taraji P. Henson, Tyler Perry, and Queen Latifah.

Accessible plant-based alternatives

Armored Fresh raised $23M in Pre-Series B funding last June. It later debuted three varieties of almond milk cheese in cubed cheese format (Cheddar, Plain, Blueberry) through retail distribution. 

In addition to Slutty Vegan, Armored Fresh is available in over 100 regional supermarkets, including Kroger, Key Foods, Met Fresh, C Town, City Acres, & associated stores throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, and soon on the company’s website and Amazon.

“We are honoured that Slutty Vegan selected Armored Fresh to top their carefully curated vegan burgers. With a mission to support our community and dedication to making plant-based alternatives accessible at the forefront of both brands, the partnership was a perfect match,” said Rudy Yoo, founder and CEO of Armored Fresh.
