Strong early demand reflects growing consumer interest in protein-rich convenient meals
NEW YORK, July 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Borealis Foods Inc. (Nasdaq: BRLS), a food science company focused on developing nutritious and accessible food products, today announced the launch of Chef Woo High-Protein Noodles at Costco.
The launch has already generated strong early member demand. “High quality protein-rich foods are in demand across the board. We intend to continue to expand our reach nationally to meet consumer demand. We are encouraged by recent demand forecasts from retailers across the country for our high protein Chef Woo products,” said Reza Soltanzadeh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Borealis Foods. “This reflects a broader change in how consumers are thinking about food. As people eat less, they are becoming more thoughtful about the nutritional value they receive from every meal.”
Industry research indicates that increased use of GLP-1 medications, including semaglutide (Ozempic®, Wegovy®), tirzepatide (Mounjaro®, Zepbound®) and liraglutide (Saxenda®), for weight loss, have significantly influenced eating habits, with many consumers placing greater emphasis on protein-rich, nutrient-dense foods.
Borealis Foods believes these changing priorities are contributing to growing interest in its high-protein noodles.
“Chef Woo is well positioned for this evolving marketplace, combining 20 grams of high quality complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids per serving,” Soltanzadeh continued. “Our food science capabilities allow us to respond to changing consumer needs by bringing meaningful nutrition to foods people already know and enjoy.”
