Tofurky And Moocho Showcase New Plant-Based Pepperoni And Dairy-free Lines

Hood River, Ore. – Tofurky, the leading independent producer of plant-based meats in the U.S., and sister brand Moocho, leveling up dairy-free comfort foods, will both showcase flavor-packed additions to their lineups at Natural Products Expo West 2022. Attendees will be some of the first to experience Tofurky’s all new Pepperoni and Hot Dog and sample from the collection of cream cheeses and shredded cheeses from Moocho when they stop by booth 1756.

Both brands are expanding their portfolios of plant-based comfort foods by bringing more lip-smacking bites to the table that are kind to people, animals and the environment. Made with the highest quality non-GMO, vegan, gluten-, soy- and cholesterol-free ingredients, new Pepperoni, Hot Dogs and Cream Cheeses cater to everyone from curious carnivores to flexitarians, the growing number of consumers who are conscious of their food choices and are demanding more sustainable options. Additional details include:

• Tofurky Pepperoni – This plant-based meat combines notes of garlic, mustard and crushed red pepper when hot, and a savory, bold, somewhat spicy rich flavor with delicious earthy fats when cold. Tofurky Pepperoni chars to brown or blacken at high heat, a key differentiator from other plant-based options on the market. It’s the perfect addition to weeknight meals at home or appetizers, gourmet charcuterie or pizzas while dining out. SRP $4.99, 8 packages per retail case.
• Tofurky Hot Dog – Perfect for the grill or stove, sliced in a casserole or in a warm toasted bun with your favorite toppings, the all-new allergen-free Tofurky Hot Dog boasts a flavorful, juicy bite. SRP $4.20, 5 packages per retail case.
• Moocho Cream Cheese – Free from the eight major allergens, Cream Cheese brings a rich, tangy flavor by using fermented cultured ingredients in the same way traditional cream cheese making takes place, combined with a creamy, spreadable texture. In three varieties including Strawberry, Garden Vegetable and Just Plain Yum, they’re great for many recipes, like swirled into creamy pasta, whipped into mashed potatoes or dolloped on a freshly toasted bagel. SRP $4.99, 6 packages per retail case.
• Moocho Shredded Cheese – Available in Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Fiesta Blend, these allergen-friendly, dairy-free Shreds use fermented cultures and ageing used in traditional cheese-making techniques to draw out the absolute best experience in plant-based shredded cheese. Whether sprinkled on a taco or melted to top pizza and grilled cheese, these shredded cheeses, which launched in 2020, are made to melt and stretch with uniquely big, smooth flavor and elevate every kind of comfort food with non-GMO, vegan, cheesy perfection. SRP of $4.99, 7 oz. pouches.

At the booth, Expo attendees will be able to sample a first taste of Moocho’s three cream cheese flavors, deliciously spread on bagels. Showgoers will also be able to snack on a comfort food favorite, pizza, incorporating Moocho’s dairy-free Mozzarella Shredded Cheese and Tofurky Pepperoni for a flavor-packed, plant-based bite.

“We are always working to bring new, exciting and more importantly, mouthwatering products to market that will bring consumers and foodservice operators the opportunity to explore more plant-based options,” said Tofurky and Moocho CEO and president Jaime Athos. “Expo West is a fantastic opportunity for us to come together as an industry and celebrate the hard work our teams have put in. We’re beyond excited to bring Pepperoni, our all-new Hot Dog and Moocho Cream Cheeses to the table. With these new launches, we have prioritized creating deliciously indulgent foods in a plant-based form that is both affordable and accessible to consumers across the country.”
