Chobani has selected seven US food startups that are disrupting, innovating, and inspiring new food categories for the second class of its food incubator.

 

Innovations from the startups for the company's new food incubator class include a low-sugar low-calorie beer alternative, a plant-based ice cream, and a frozen meal kit company that uses steel-cut oats.

 

The companies were chosen from more than 550 applicants and will work with the US yoghurt company to disrupt and revitalise food systems.

 

"To select our second next class, we tasted hundreds of products and met with entrepreneurs across the country and the world," Chobani CEO Hamdi Ulukaya said.

 

"These seven companies each have something special and unique. In selecting this class, we looked at what categories - and what teams of people - have the ability to make big changes in American supermarkets and give more people better options.

 

“I can't wait to have these companies at Chobani to see how we can help them on their journey and welcome them to our family."
