Plant-based producer Alpha Foods announced Tuesday it has secured $28 million in a round led by AccelFoods, with existing partners New Crop Capital, Green Monday, and Blue Horizon. This puts the brand’s current value at $41 million.
The California brand says it will invest this recent funding into marketing, R&D, and team expansion. Its popular portfolio includes burritos, pot pies, tamales, pizzas and nuggets.

Alpha Foods’ mission is to deliver smart food choices powered by plants, meeting the needs of grab-and-go/heat-and-eat lifestyles. In addition, an important element part of our mission is to support global benefits of animal welfare, sustainability, and overall health tied to the plant-based industry.”
