“Hampton Creek’s products are already sold in Whole Foods in California, and now the firm plans to expand worldwide,” it says.
The company in its website stated that it “has built a unique technology platform to enable the production of healthier food at a lower cost, starting with the safe and sustainable option of the conventional chicken egg.”
Josh Tetrick, Hampton Creek CEO and founder said in the website: “Our goal has always been to build a company that brings healthier and affordable food to everyone, everywhere. Solving a problem means actually solving the problem for most people – not just those that can afford to pay for organic eggs.”
