Are your products processed?

The truth is that almost everything we eat (from applesauce to yogurt) is a combination of nature and science; it’s all a process, often including blending, mixing, fermentation, or baking. Our products are processed by mixing carefully selected ingredients, derived from plants or by fermentation, to create something unique and delicious. Want the details? Click here.

Why do you use soy in your products?

We use soy because it’s an excellent source of high-quality plant-based protein and other nutrients with a long-established history of safe use in food. It plays a huge role in giving our products their meaty texture, a competitive nutritional profile, and culinary versatility -- everything you’d want to see in meat made from plants.
