Konscious Foods™ offers restaurant, foodservice, deli and quick service operators a wide array of chef-crafted products all made from plants. Each item is designed with operational efficiency, sustainability, taste and quality in mind, including:
- Four varieties of plant-based sushi (California, Salmon Avocado, Tuna Avocado and Rainbow Roll)
- Salmon block or poke cubes

- Sno’ crab pack
- Four varieties of plant-forward onigiri (Kale Gomae, Japanese Vegetable Curry, Roasted Corn and Poblano, and Korean BBQ Mushroom)
In 2023, Konscious Foods launched the world’s-first frozen sushi, poke bowls and onigiri in 4,500 retailers across North America, as well as a ready-to-eat items featured in the sushi counters of Whole Foods Market.
Plant-based food is in increasingly high demand, with recent research revealing nearly half of US restaurants already offer plant-based options—a 62% increase over the 11 years1--and foodservice companies like Sodexo announcing 50% of its campus offerings will be vegan by 2025. January marks the return of #Veganuary—a non-profit organization on a mission to encourage the adoption of a vegan diet in January and beyond—meaning even more companies across the globe will commit to offering plant-based options and/or challenging employees to eat vegan for the first month of the year.
Konscious Foods’ offerings are all non-GMO Project verified, gluten free, 100% plant-based, organic where possible, and free from carrageenan and titanium dioxide.
