Consumers are seeking not only plant protein alternatives but also the comforts that enhance their enjoyment, such as rich, savory gravies, and Heinz is meeting the demand for more diverse options with three new HomeStyle vegetarian gravy products.
While the brand offers a range of gravies made with chicken, pork or beef broth, the new HomeStyle varieties fill a void for the growing numbers of plant-based eaters with formulas that are prepared with real herbs and no animal-derived products.
Whether they are looking to enhance everyday meals or make special occasions like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner feel even more festive, vegetarian and flexitarian consumers can look forward to enjoying all-new HomeStyle options like Roasted Garlic & Rosemary, Caramelized Onion & Thyme, and Herbs De Provence.
