Meatless Deli Slices

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sweet Earth Makes Plant-Based Black Forest Ham & Oven-Roasted Turkey

— March 25, 2020 — Lifestyle
As consumers become open to trying plant-based products, many people are looking for products that make it easy to swap one for another, such as Sweet Earth Foods' new meatless deli slices. These new plant-based alternatives were created to replicate specific kinds of meat products like Oven-Roasted Turkey and Black Forest Ham.

In the same way that some plant-based patties are now sold in the same section of a store as traditional meat products, these new deli slices will be merchandised along with conventional slices. The meatless Oven-Roasted Turkey and Black Forest Ham slices boast 15 to 17 grams of protein and share simple ways for people to craft hearty sandwiches at home, without feeling as though they're missing out on favorite flavors and textures.
