SHOP OUR STORY BLOG Expanding Into 1,600 New Stores After Winning Albertsons Companies Innovation Launchpad Competition Austin, TX ¨C December 2024¨C Crafty Counter¡¯s WunderEggs, the groundbreaking plant-based egg alternative, has reached another monumental milestone. After clinching the prestigious Albertsons Companies Innovation Launchpad competition this past March, WunderEggs is now launching into 1,600 Albertsons Cos. banner stores nationwide including Safeway, Albertsons, ACME, Shaw¡¯s and Vons. The Albertsons Companies Innovation Launchpad competition celebrates emerging and innovative brands representing food, beverage and pet products. WunderEggs was selected as the winner for its bold reimagining of eggs using plant-based ingredients like nuts, legumes and aquafaba. Not only does WunderEggs replicate the taste and texture of eggs, but it also eliminates cholesterol, supports ethical food production practices and is designed to reduce environmental impact compared to traditional factory farmed egg production. Meeting Market Needs Amid Avian Flu Outbreaks WunderEggs¡¯ expansion couldn¡¯t come at a better time. Recent avian flu outbreaks have disrupted the traditional egg market, impacting prices and raising concerns for some consumers about food safety and supply chain reliability. As consumers seek alternatives to navigate these challenges, WunderEggs provides a reliable, more sustainable, and delicious solution. "The recurring avian flu outbreaks highlight the vulnerabilities of traditional food systems," said Hema Reddy, founder and CEO of Crafty Counter. "WunderEggs is uniquely positioned to meet this market need, offering consumers a plant-based option that delivers on taste and texture without the risks associated with conventional eggs. It¡¯s more than just food; it¡¯s peace of mind." A Game-Changing Expansion This expansion represents a significant leap for WunderEggs, which is already a favorite in 1,000 stores, including Whole Foods Market and Wegmans. With this launch, Crafty Counter doubles its distribution footprint, bringing its products to more households across the U.S. and making plant-based eating more accessible than ever before. The Journey Ahead This milestone marks just the beginning for Crafty Counter. With plans to roll out even more innovative products in the near future, the company is on track to redefine what¡¯s possible in egg substitutes. Consumers can now find WunderEggs in select Albertsons Cos. banner stores across the country, alongside other retailers like Whole Foods and Wegmans.

CA law takes affect today to stop octopus farming
If only the same laws applied to all ocean animals. Maybe these lawmakers saw the Oscar winning ¡°My Octopus Teacher¡±.From the New York Times: A proactive ban on octopus farming California is banning octopus farming and the sale of farmed octopuses, citing concerns about animal welfare and environmental impacts. Although currently there are no large-scale octopus farming operations in the state, the legislation aims to prevent them from opening in the future. The law describesoctopuses as ¡°highly intelligent, curious, problem-solving animals¡± that are ¡°conscious, sentient beings.¡± California is the second state to prohibit octopus farming and the first to ban the sale of farmed octopuses. Jesus Jim¨¦nez and Orlando Mayorqu¨ªncontributed reporting.

Ricefield Rats Rescue & Other Updates
Yikes; people eat these adorable rats I never heard of. Lots of great work high in this: Read our December Highlights! Welcome to your latest WFFT update Happy New Year! We're excited to share our December 2024 highlights with you¡ªbut first, an important message... In 2025, we¡¯re embarking on what is likely our most ambitious animal welfare campaign yet: ending the cruel trade and abuse of coconut monkeys in Thailand. An estimated 3,000 Southern and Northern pig-tailed macaques are trapped in this exploitative industry¡ªstolen from their mothers and the wild as infants, subjected to brutal training, and forced to harvest coconuts under harsh conditions. Our plan includes building new enclosures where rescued coconut monkeys can heal and retire from their traumatic pasts. To achieve this, we need to secure land, construct specialised facilities, and provide lifelong care for these animals. It¡¯s a monumental task, but with your support, we can make it happen and offer many more macaques the peace they deserve. Together, let¡¯s make 2025 a turning point for coconut monkeys in Thailand. Read more here Highlights in December 2024: December 2024 was another busy month at WFFT, filled with new arrivals, crucial health checks, and Christmas-themed enrichments for our rescued animals. Your support makes it all possible, and we¡¯re deeply grateful for animal lovers like you. Discover more about our recent activities below! Health check for Malayan sun bear, Dodo Dodo, our 24-year-old Malayan Sun Bear, recently had a health check to manage his arthritis and ensure he's comfortable with his joint pain medication. The veterinary team also cleaned his teeth and trimmed his nails. Read more here. Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Release for a wild long-tailed macaque This monkey, who was electrocuted and chased by dogs, also sustained minor injuries to his eyebrow and right leg. After a successful recovery with medication and monitoring, he has been released back to the wild! Watch his story here. Ricefield rats rescue We rescued 26 ricefield rats from filthy cesspits where they were farmed for human consumption. Many were suffering from severe wounds. Their plight highlights the cruelty faced by wildlife exploited for meat. See more about their rescue here. Rescue of wild stump-tailed macaque Sakakibara is a wild stump-tailed macaque who came to us in need of urgent care after being attacked by other macaques in his troop. Sakakibara arrived with multiple infected puncture wounds and slight hyperthermia. Once healed, we plan to release him back into the wild where he belongs. Christmas enrichments for our rescued animals Many of our rescued animals received new toys this festive season, helping to further enrich their lives. We are forever grateful to our friend Jeanette and supporters like you for making this possible and for bringing extra joy to animals who have endured so much sadness in the past. See them playing with their Christmas gifts here. PAT clinic update More than 6,000 sterilisations completed since 2023! Our People and Animals Thailand (PAT) team is actively addressing the problem of stray animal overpopulation in Thailand. Learn more about this life-changing project here.

Extreme Pizza¡¯s vegan options
The Bunny Slope is my new favorite of their vegan options. Never had such succulent pizza. Something about the fresh heirloom tomatoes, I guess. It also comes with fresh arugula to add as a topping. They use Daiya cheese.

Eggless Latkes -New York Times
ff your first year of Cooking. Vegan Latkes By Melissa Clark Published Dec. 20, 2024 David Malosh for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Simon Andrews. Total Time40 minutesPrep Time10 minutesCook Time30 minutesRating(0)NotesRead 2 community notes You don¡¯t need to use an egg substitute like flax seeds or aquafaba to make excellent vegan latkes. The key is to use flour to bind the potato strands together, then leave the latkes alone in the pan as they cook thoroughly on the first side before flipping them. (Too much flipping can cause them to fall apart.) Once the latkes form a golden-brown crust on the first side, carefully turn them over to finish cooking. For the crispiest result, you can add the potato starch lost in squeezing back into the batter (see the Tip for details). It does add an extra step and 15 minutes to the process, but it¡¯s easy and worth it for latkes lovers who live for the crunch. Save Give ADVERTISEMENT SKIP ADVERTISEMENT INGREDIENTS Yield:3 dozen latkes ?cup all-purpose flour 1teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more for sprinkling 1teaspoon baking powder ?teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2large russet potatoes (about 1 pound), scrubbed and cut lengthwise into quarters 1large onion (8 ounces), peeled and cut into quarters Safflower, olive, avocado or grapeseed oil, for frying Add ingredients to Grocery List Shop ingredients on Instacart Your first order gets $20 off and free delivery. Instacart terms apply.Ingredient Substitution Guide PREPARATION Step 1 In a large bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking powder and pepper. Step 2 Using a food processor with a coarse grating disk, grate the potatoes and onion. Step 3 Transfer the mixture to a clean dish towel and, working over a medium bowl, squeeze and wring out as much of the liquid as you can. (See Tip.) Working quickly, transfer grated potatoes to the bowl with the flour mixture and stir to combine. Step 4 In a large skillet over medium-high heat (or use two skillets on two burners), pour in about ? inch of the oil. Once the oil is hot, use the palm of your hands to pack 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture into a patty. Drop the patty in the hot oil, using a spatula to flatten them into disks. Do this in batches so you don¡¯t crowd the patties in the pan. When the edges of the latkes are brown and crispy, about 3 to 5 minutes, flip. Cook until the second side is deeply browned, another 3 to 5 minutes. If the latkes start to look too brown, lower the heat. Transfer the latkes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and sprinkle with salt while still warm. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as needed. TIP For slightly crisper latkes, save the liquid after squeezing the potatoes. Let it sit for 15 minutes so the starch can sink to the bottom of the bowl. Pour out the clear liquid on top of the starch. Add the starchy liquid to the bowl with the potatoes, tossing well.
