VANCOUVER, BC, Canada – bettermoo(d) Food Corporation is pleased to announce it has received initial purchase orders for its newly launched Moodrink Barista Edition ( Moodrink Barista ) from United Natural Foods Canada, (“UNFI Canada” or the “Distribution Partner”), the largest publicly traded wholesale distributor in North America delivering healthier food options to people throughout the United States and Canada, and an established coffee shop distributor (the “West Coast Coffee ShopDistributor”), serving the West Coast of Canada for over 16 years.
Both distributors placed initial order soon after the product’s official launch in late August, which management believes reflects the strong demand and enthusiasm for bettermoo(d)’s innovative plant-based Moodrink Baristaâ„¢.

By offering a product tailored for baristas and coffee enthusiasts, the Company is positioning itself to serve an expanding segment of the beverage industry.
The coffee industry has demonstrated consistent growth, with North America being a major player in its expansion. On average, individuals in this region consume about three cups of coffee daily, highlighting the role coffee plays in their daily routines. In 2023, the North American coffee market was valued at US$ 18.23 billion and is projected to reach US$ 27.06 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%.[2]
