Alliance Expands Distribution for Plant-Based Meat to Schools, Restaurants, Healthcare, and Event Venues
December 2, 2024 | Seattle, Wash. – Rebellyous Foods, a women-led company revolutionizing plant-based meat production technology and adoption, proudly announces a new strategic partnership with Dot Foods, North America’s largest food industry redistributor. This agreement marks a major milestone for Rebellyous Foods, as it opens national foodservice distribution for its acclaimed plant-based chicken patties, tenders and nuggets, expanding availability to a broader range of customers across the country.
Dot Foods’ unique redistribution model allows suppliers to ship in “less-than-truckload” quantities, ensuring weekly distribution to its network of over 5,020 distributors. It provides foodservice customers a 2-4 day turnaround on orders with no minimum case requirement. This will greatly enhance the availability of Rebellyous' plant-based chicken products to foodservice operators, from national chains to small, independent restaurants to large event venues or institutions, and school district customers.
“Partnering with Dot Foods is a game-changer for Rebellyous Foods," said Kristie Middleton, Chief Relationship Officer at Rebellyous Foods. "Their expansive distribution network will enable us to reach more foodservice establishments nationwide, meeting the growing consumer demand for high-quality, affordable plant-based proteins in the dining sector. Whether it’s a regional lunch spot, university dining hall, or a family-owned restaurant, our products will now be more accessible than ever."
This partnership will allow foodservice operators of all sizes to seamlessly incorporate Rebellyous Foods’ innovative plant-based nuggets, tenders and patties into their menus, delivering healthier, sustainable, and delicious options for their customers.
“Dot is thrilled to partner with Rebellyous Foods as their supply chain partner helping them grow their foodservice business. They are a great addition to our plant-based offering,” said Billy Bell, Dot Foods senior business development manager.
In September, Rebellyous Foods unveiled its innovative Mock 2© Production System, a first-of-its-kind system, enabling the company to produce plant-based meat that effectively competes on price and quality with traditional meat production, setting the stage to transform the accessibility and adoption of sustainable, climate-friendly protein alternatives worldwide. The deployment of the technology combined with the partnership with Dot positions Rebellyous for rapid growth in 2025.
