The Chobani Ends Child Hunger Peanut Butter products are a new lineup of offerings from the brand created in partnership with Edesia Nutrition as a social good food product that will work towards its namesake goal of ending childhood hunger.
The products consist of a delicious snack alongside a series of flavored peanut butter treats that can be provided to infants as a safe option to introduce them to peanuts. The profits from the sale of the products will be donated in full to Edesia Nutrition to produce Plumpy'Nut, which is a fortified peanut butter that is shipped around the world to help nourish children suffering from acute malnutrition.
Founder and CEO of Edesia Navyn Salem spoke on the new Chobani Ends Child Hunger Peanut Butter products saying, "We believe that children, no matter where they live, deserve the basic human right of food and nutrition. From Afghanistan to Haiti, hunger and malnutrition is completely preventable. Chobani’s commitment to donate 100% of profits from the sales of its peanut butter flavored spreads will help make this vision possible.”
