Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 22, 2021) - The Very Good Food Company Inc. (TSXV: VERY) (OTCQB: VRYYF) (FSE: 0SI) ("VERY GOOD" or the "Company") today launched the plant-based food technology company's rebranded corporate presence, brought to life in a revamped "The Very Good Food Co." logo and newly unveiled website, www.VeryGoodFood.com. The new site was created as a centralized platform for the Company's growing portfolio of great-tasting and nutritious plant-based products while showcasing its personality and approachability to the fast-growing base of consumers embracing plant-based food options.

Since first launching as a bean-based Butchery in Victoria, British Columbia under The Very Good Butchers brand, the Company has expanded rapidly across North America through its eCommerce platform and is currently building out its U.S. retail network. With over 1,300 points of distribution and fulfilling over 1,800 ecommerce orders on average per week, the Company is expected to grow exponentially this year through new wholesale distribution partnerships, as well as increased production capacity at its new Vancouver-based Rupert Facility.

"We at The Very Good Food Company are well on our way to reaching our mission of getting millions of people to rethink their food choices while doing a world of good," said VERY GOOD, Co-Founder, CEO Mitchell Scott. "The evolution of our corporate brand and new website are exciting milestones as we grow our family of products and help more consumers access delicious and nutritious plant-based food."

The new website reflects VERY GOOD's trajectory as a platform for current and future brands developed or acquired by The Very Good Food Company, offering consumers a diverse range of great-tasting, plant-based options. Most recently, the Company expanded its portfolio with the introduction of cheese following its acquisition of The Cultured Nut Inc, artisan vegan cheese company on the West Coast of Canada.

"Just as The Very Good Food Company is committed to simple, natural and easily pronounceable ingredients, the new site features real people enjoying real food. We are proud of the community we've built since our early days selling out at local farmer's markets, and we are eager for the new site to act as a hub for the growing community of consumers who care about and like to have fun with their food choices," said VERY GOOD Co-Founder, CRDO James Davison.

VERY GOOD recently announced a partnership with Green Spoon Sales to increase its distribution across the U.S. and the availability of its products through the online vegan grocer, GTFO It's Vegan.

The Company's new website and branding is now live at verygoodfood.com.

The Company will be discussing its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2020 financial results on a conference call on Tuesday, April 27, 2021 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time/ 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
