ZENB yellow pea pasta lands in Sprouts

CHICAGO โ€” ZENB has brought its grain-free pasta product portfolio to Sprouts Farmers Market stores across the United States.

Formulated from whole yellow peas, as well as the skins, ZENBโ€™s better-for-you offerings are being showcased at Sprouts Innovation Table displays, which highlight new and notable specialty food items. Available products from the company include its line of gluten-free pastas, such as spaghetti, elbow, penne and rotini, and four varieties of its plant-based Agile Bowl meals (tomato basil pesto, Mexican street corn, red pepper harissa and zesty garlic spinach).

โ€œAs a leader in wholesome food innovation, we couldn’t be happier to launch in retail at Sprouts Farmers Markets across the country,โ€ said Hugo Pรฉrez, chief storyteller for ZENB US.

With existing footholds in Japan and the United Kingdom, the retail launch marks a significant step for the companyโ€™s US presence. The company first introduced its pasta to the United States in 2019 through a direct-to-consumer model, and its products have begun to appear in select regional grocers over the last year.

โ€œAt ZENB, our food development legacy allows us to unlock the power of real, clean ingredients and deliver products with the highest quality standards,โ€ said Taichi Sakabe, chief operating officer at ZENB US. โ€œBy launching with Sprouts, we can continue to give consumers what they deserve โ€“ elevated, re-imagined pantry staples that fit their lifestyles, like our crave-worthy yellow pea pastas.โ€
