daring is the leader in clean plant-based chicken and was founded with a clear goal in mind: to remove chicken as a form of animal protein from our food system. Founded in 2018 by Ross Mackay and Eliott Kessas, daring landed in the U.S. in 2020 with its mission to create a more sustainable, delicious, and nutritious plant-based option for an audience that consumes chicken multiple times a week. daring offers frozen pieces that are 100% plant-based, 14g per serving with just five non-GMO ingredients and spices. daring's pouches are available in Original, Lemon & Herb, Cajun, and Breaded. daring is available at Sprouts Farmers Market, Gelson's, Bristol Farms and Fresh Thyme, and online directly at www.daring.com. daring debuted its daring is caring giveback program in June 2020 - an ongoing initiative to donate a percentage of sales to game-changers in the food, wellness, and social justice space.
