In partnership with convenience store Lawson, Haofood is bringing its all-new satay nugget on a stick to thousands of stores across China. The satay nugget on a stick is an on-the-go snack for Chinese consumers who need nourishment that's as convenient as it is beneficial. This product features high-quality soybeans and Haofood's Innotein technology to deliver plenty of protein and fiber, and other benefits, with zero trans-fat.
This collaboration is being introduced at a time when Millennials in China are embracing flexitarian, vegetarian and vegan eating, especially as people become more aware of the environmental impact and health concerns onset by meat consumption. This plant-based chicken product is not just a sustainable alternative to meat, it's also one that boasts a "texture similar to real meat, and a stronger umami sensation."
