Komo's new Taco Filling is made with 100% plant-based and wholesome ingredients including enoki mushrooms, lentils, carrots and pea protein cooked in a sweet and tangy BBQ sauce.

Like all Komo products, the sauce is free from preservatives, artificial colours and flavours. Komo's taco filling is also free from gluten and soy ingredients.
Komo is targeting multi-serve plant-based dinners and entrees sub-categories with its Ready-to-Bake Classics and its Plant-Based Meal HelpersTM. All of Komo's products are 100% plant-based, made with wholesome ingredients, free from preservatives, frozen for freshness and have a 1-year frozen shelf life.
