The Very Good Food Company Inc. (NASDAQ: VGFC) (TSXV: VERY.V) (FSE: OSI) (“VERY GOOD” or the “Company”), a leading plant-based food technology company, today announced that their popular Stuffed Beast, under its core The Very Good Butchers brand, will be available for purchase in select Loblaws and Real Canadian Superstore locations across Canada.

After selling out of the limited-edition Stuffed Beast last year, VERY GOOD increased production and distribution for the 2021 holiday season. Available for purchase in mid December, the Stuffed Beast can be found in 123 Real Canadian Superstore locations nationally and 40 Loblaw and Zehrs stores throughout Ontario (collectively “Loblaws stores”); along with other Canadian retailers such as Whole Foods, Thrifty Foods, La Moisson, Country Grocer, Natures Emporium, Organic Garage, Fiesta Farms, Good Rebel, Vegan Supply, and many more natural and independent stores.
