Tyson said New Wave focuses on plant-based shellfish and is working on a shrimp alternative protein for food service slated for launch by early 2020.
New Wave’s first offering, a plant-based shrimp, is made with sustainably sourced seaweed and plant protein, and contains all eight essential amino acids found in meats and seafoods.
It also contains no allergens, zero cholesterol and is lower in calories and salt than real shrimp, according to a news release.
