SimplyProtein® Continues Expansion into US with National Distribution at Costco

TORONTO, Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Wellness Natural USA Inc. announced its fan-favorite SimplyProtein^® Crispy Bars are now available at Costco locations nationwide for a limited time, providing shoppers with even more options for simple, plant-powered snacks.
