Greenleaf Foods develops plant-based protein products, anchored by its Lightlife Foods and Field Roast brands. Established in 2018 and based in Lisle, Illinois, the company operates in the food and beverage services sector with a focus on plant-based proteins. The firm aims to expand consumer access to alternatives to animal-derived foods. Its customer base includes retailers and foodservice operators, demonstrated by partnerships that bring plant-based options to menus and shelves, such as Portillo's introducing the Garden Dog and Pizza Nova offering plant-based chicken. Greenleaf Foods also pursues collaborative innovation with other protein developers, as seen in a 2022 partnership with The Better Meat Co. and a 2025 initiative to develop a Rhiza mycoprotein-based ingredient.
