Kellogg-owned MorningStar Farms has reformulated and expanded its Chik’N meat alternative portfolio, making four of its vegetarian products suitable for vegans and releasing a new nugget product.
The brand’s Buffalo Wings, Chik’N Nuggets, Buffalo Chik Patties and Original Chik Patties are now made with non-GMO soy and with natural colours and flavours, making them suitable for vegans.
New Vegan BBQ Chik’N Nuggets have also been released by the brand, further expanding its offering to vegan consumers.
Veganism is a rising trend in the US, and MorningStar Farms says that the products have been developed to respond to this consumer demand without compromising on either flavour or texture.
The release of these new products also follows the successful release of the brand’s vegan burgers ranges earlier this year, which were positively received by consumers.
Melissa Cash, senior director of brand marketing at the Kellogg Company said: “We know there is a great demand for more variety when it comes to vegan options, so we are excited to announce that our great-tasting Chik’N products are now vegan.
“With more people embracing a plant-based diet and lifestyle, MorningStar Farms is committed to making food for all to enjoy.”
The new vegan-friendly products are now available nationwide in the US.
