Tyson Foods is launching a new line of plant-based products in select retail markets and e-commerce across Asia Pacific under the brand, First Pride.

Tyson Foods is initially launching the products in Malaysia and will roll them out to other markets in the region in the coming months.

The transaction is subject to approval by the shareholders of Malayan Flour Mills Berhad, amongst others.
