Colorado-based Planterra is expanding its line of plant-based proteins with the first True Bite Plant-Based Chicken Cutlet on the market from brand Ozo, as well as its new Plant-Based Chicken Shreds.
According to the company, what makes True Bite Chicken Cutlet and Shreds unlike anything else on the market is the flavor and texture, which is comparable to that of real, whole muscle chicken. These first-of-its-kind vegan and plant-based protein options will hit grocery store shelves nationwide in early 2022 and can be found in the fresh meat aisle.
“As time goes on, the demand for protein will only continue to increase and the world won’t be able to satisfy that demand with meat-based products alone,” said Darcey Macken, Planterra Foods CEO. “With chicken being the most popular protein in the United States, it was clear we needed to create a plant-based option where people don’t have to sacrifice this mealtime favorite and have a healthier and more sustainable option. Planterra is always aiming to provide delicious, sustainable solutions that are good for people and the planet, and our True Bite Chicken Cutlets and Shreds will do just that.”
Both products are pre-seasoned and ready to cook in 10 minutes, so people have a simple, quick mealtime option they can feel good about feeding to their families. Ozo’s plant-based chicken products will be available in four seasoning options: Garlic & Herb Cutlet, Sea Salt & Pepper Cutlet, BBQ Shreds and Rotisserie-style Shreds.
Additional plant-based protein offerings from Ozo include: ground (12 oz.), Mexican-seasoned ground (12 oz.), Original Breakfast Sausages (four patties per package), Italian Style Meatballs (12 per package), Frozen Smokehouse Burgers, Frozen Plant-Based Breakfast Sausages and Frozen Plant-Based Chicken Nuggets.
