CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 8, 2023 / The Planting Hope Company Inc.

"We're proud that H-E-B is integrating our Mozaics™ Real Veggie Chips into their leading assortment of plant-based snack foods," said Julia Stamberger, CEO and Co-founder of Planting Hope. "Not only do Mozaics™ deliver protein and dietary fiber from real veggies you can SEE in each popped chip, Mozaics™ are also packaged in NEO Plastics degradable film, which breaks down in waste streams without special handling, releasing a biogas that is harvested by landfills as a clean energy source. H-E-B stores are synonymous with Texas and are a vital part of Texan consumers' daily lives; having Mozaics™ available to H-E-B customers across Texas is an exciting next step for the brand and for Planting Hope!"
