Lightlife is shaking up the plant-based product category with a first-of-its-kind fresh, breaded plant-based chicken product—the Plant-Based Chicken Fillets set themselves apart as a breaded plant-based chicken product designed to be sold in the fresh meat section. Powered by breakthrough innovation, the meatless product is described as "truly the most chicken-like products in the plant-based category today."
Lightlife is also introducing breaded Plant-Based Chicken Tenders, which are also non-GMO Project Verified, vegan certified and free from cholesterol or artificial flavors. These meatless alternatives are packed with protein, plus a familiar texture, color and taste. Both of the versatile chicken alternatives have the potential to be added to wraps, salads, sandwiches or other recipes, and the tenders are ready for dipping on their own.
