What better way to celebrate our Munich roots than with our very own Oktoberfest in the office? 🥨🍺 Last week, the Planet A Foods team came together for an evening of Bavarian fun, paired with traditional food, drinks and plenty of laughs. From Dirndls and Lederhosen to fruits covered in our delicious cocoa-free chocolate ChoViva, we had a blast. For us at Planet A Foods it's important to create a company culture where everybody feels heard and respected - but can also relax and have some fun as well. Thank you everyone for joining and especially to Silke Gehrke, Carol Gabanelli and Phillip Arnold for the organization and Thea Ortner for the ChoViva-covered fruits. #Oktoberfest #CompanyCulture #PlanetAFoods #Munich #TeamFun

Deliciously crafted, sustainable food for everyone - starting with 100% cocoa-free chocolate
Info
Imagine a world without chocolate. Horrifying, right? But the supply of cocoa is endangered and chocolate is as bad as meat for our planet. We make future-proof chocolate using precision fermentation. Doing this, our chocolate is 10x more sustainable and 20% cheaper than conventional chocolate. In order to mimic the organoleptic properties of chocolate (tender, smoothly melting taste release) we are working on the flavor itself but also on replacing the cocoa butter. 55 Mio lbs of chocolate are consumed every day. By 2035 we will substitute a big chunk of it through our sustainable chocolate.

🥜🍫 NEWS NEWS NEWS Treets Piasten launches new vegan peanuts with ChoViva Working together with Planet A Foods and the cocoa-free chocolate alternative ChoViva, Treets has launched vegan peanut dragees. For Planet A Foods, this is the next strong brand partnership, following Henry Lambertz GmbH & Co KG, Peter Kölln GmbH & Co. KGaA, Lindt & Sprüngli and Griesson - de Beukelaer GmbH & Co. KG. For everyone who prefers snacks without animal ingredients, the peanuts will become their new favorite treats. The peanuts are coated with vegan ChoViva based on sunflower seeds and a crunchy sugar coating. The dragees are dyed exclusively with vegan pastel colors. 💚🌱 And our favourite part? With a CO2 footprint of 1.3kg CO2e/kg, the vegan ChoViva recipes saves 82.7% of CO2 compared to the average of vegan chocolate with a footprint of 9.6kg CO2e/kg. Both values are calculated by CarbonCloud. The new Treets peanuts with ChoViva are available at Kaufland, Globus, famila, tegut and in some Edeka regions from September 2024. We hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we do! 🍫 Find out more about the product here: https://lnkd.in/gyKV5iJN Thank you to Manfred Jus, Stephanie Katharina Schuth, Natascha Porzelt, Marco Bauer and the whole team from Treets and Piasten for the great team work. #ChoViva #ProductLaunch #Treets #Vegan #CocoaFree #ForOurPlanet

For some time now, there have been ongoing discussions in the industry about when a product can be described as sustainable, how it should be labeled or what exactly “CO2-reduced” actually means. Of course, for us at Planet A Foods this is a very important topic we work on a lot. 💚🌱🍫 That's why we've added a brand new subpage to our ChoViva website: At choviva.com/co2 we explain exactly how ChoViva's carbon footprint is calculated, why ChoViva is sustainable and how we work with our partner CarbonCloud to calculate the carbon footprint of our ChoViva recipes. Take a look and let us know what you think! 👉 www.choviva.com/co2 #ClimateFootprint #CO2reduced #ChoViva #sustainability #ForOurPlanet
