Atlantic Natural Foods (ANF) announced the acquisition of the Loma Linda brand of canned shelf stable alternative meat analog products.
The company will also license the Worthington Foods brand and will transition these products to the Loma Linda brand in the near future.
Previously, the brands were marketed solely by Kellogg Company. Atlantic Natural Foods has been the sole producer of these products since 2008.
Kellogg Company US Specialty Channels president Wendy Davidson said, "This transaction with our long time partner, Atlantic Natural Foods, ensures brand authenticity and continued commitment to providing great foods. It also allows us to increase our focus on our core Kellogg Specialty Channels business."
ANF also purchased Kellogg Company's Kaffree Roma alternative coffee beverage unit.
With 2013 sales of $14.8bn and more than 1,600 foods, Kellogg is the second largest producer of cookies, crackers and savory snacks; and a major North American frozen foods company.
