Immi has launched its newest flavor, Creamy “Chicken.” The new plant-based offering is a combination of an American “cult classic flavor” and the classic Japanese Tori Paitan ramen famous for its creamy and savory broth.

Olli
California-based Olli Salumeria has launched what it claims to be the first preservative-free salami in the North American market. The brand’s curing process eliminates nitrates and nitrites, instead relying on a simplified salt cure in combination with naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds. The new preservative-free formula debuts with the brand’s Olli Salamini and Olli Salamini and Curd Snacks.
