Rebellyous Foods' Spicy Kickin’ Patties Deliver Bolder Flavor

— October 30, 2024 — Lifestyle
Plant-based meat technology company Rebellyous Foods supplies products to over 300 school districts across the nation and its new Spicy Kickin’ Patties meet the demand for bolder, spicier flavors. These plant-based patties developed for K-12 schools, restaurants and foodservice providers are free from cholesterol, antibiotics and hormones, and offer a planet-friendly alternative to animal-derived protein.

"Our customers love Rebellyous plant-based chicken, and schools have been clamoring for a spicy version of our delicious patty," said Kristie Middleton, Chief Relationship Officer for Rebellyous Foods. The new Spicy Plant-Based Patties mirror the taste and texture of traditional chicken patties and feature a crunchy coating that appeals to Gen Z's demand for bolder, spicier flavors. These easy-to-prepare patties meet the USDA National School Lunch Program’s requirements, offering two meat/meat alternate credits and a 1/4 grain credit.
