SWAP Food is shaking up the Chicago food scene with the introduction of SWAP™ Chicken, an innovative whole filet chicken replacement, made from plants. Crafted from a short list of clean label ingredients, SWAP Chicken's savory flavor and muscle-like texture appeal to plant-based skeptics and meat-lovers alike. SWAP's exceptional product versatility allows chefs and foodservice operators to replace chicken in any recipe—no menu changes required.
SWAP's 'Umisation' protein platform employs a technique to transform plant proteins into structured fibers without high heat or pressure. The approach uses just eight familiar ingredients and no artificial flavors, colorants, or texturizers.
A growing community of conflicted meat eaters love the taste and protein meat delivers, but are concerned about its impact on their health, the environment, and animal welfare. Market research shows 83% of American consumers have concerns over factory farms.1 However, traditional plant-based alternatives often fall short on taste, texture and nutrition, leading to category skepticism.
SWAP has already begun to make waves in Chicago's vibrant culinary scene, with popular restaurants like The Chicago Diner, Spirit Elephant, Soul Veg City, Majani, Duke's Alehouse, Clucker's Charcoal Chicken, and SteMartaen Vegan Catering adding SWAP Chicken to their menus.
SWAP Food is a Certified B Corp, reinforcing its commitment to social and environmental impact.
