Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire – May 21, 2024 - Plantify Foods, Inc. (TSXV: PTFY) ("Plantify Foods" or the "Company"), a Clean Label food company dedicated to providing consumers with nutritious and delicious food options, announces that in light of the ongoing war in Israel over the past few months, the Company has assessed its operations to determine the best course of action to optimize production and reduce operational risk.  

After assessing the sales and operations over the past year, Plantify will be shutting down production lines that are less profitable to focus on higher-margin products. This will allow the Company to streamline its production, generate some additional cash (with the sale of extraneous equipment and machinery), and continue operations during times of war.

"This pivot will help to stabilize the operations during very uncertain geopolitical times. There are a few other opportunities that the Company will continue to pursue, and updates will be provided as things mature. ”, said Suzette Ramcharan, CEO of Plantify Foods. “
