Founded in 2000, VegNews is one of the most established vegan news sources in the world. It produces four magazines annually, reaching 3.6 million people monthly across print, digital, and social media.

"This was the first time that we showcased our Komo product lineup at an in-person U.S. trade show," said William White, CEO of Komo. "The response to our products was overwhelmingly positive, with our Plant-Based Lasagna even taking home a major prize at the conference."

Komo's Plant-Based Comfort Food Lineup Features:

• Komo Plant-Based Lasagna (VegNews Best of Show Award 2022 for Best New Vegan Product): Easy to bake and serve, with two sizes available: two-serving (600g) or full-size (1.42kg).

"Participation in Expo West is a major stepping stone as we focus on growing our distribution network in the U.S. through retail, wholesale, and eCommerce channels," added White. "We believe that there is a significant gap in the plant-based food market that we are filling with our lineup of multi-serve plant-based meals. Eating plant-based should never feel like a trade-off, and doesn't have to be complicated."
