JUST CEO Josh Tetrick created vegan mayo. Now, he wants to end world hunger.
Tetrick created JUST after traveling in Sub-Saharan Africa, where he witnessed a shortage of nutritious and sustainable food.
SHANNON GUPTA: ‘Someday, Josh Tetrick hopes his sustainable food startup, JUST, will be known for more than vegan mayonnaise. Formerly named Hampton Creek, his seven year-old company sells a line of vegan products, including salad dressings, cookie dough and the aforementioned mayo, in stores across the US, Mexico and Hong Kong. But Tetrick wants to expand the offerings beyond that.
The latest project? Animal meat made from lab-grown cells. JUST hopes to make its first sale of the “clean meat” by the end of the year. It’s also rolling out a vegan egg product, called JUST Scramble, this summer.
