Plant-based meat production technology company Rebellyous Foods has announced the launch of its plant-based Spicy Kickin’ Patty, designed for K-12 schools, restaurants, and food service providers. With the popularity of spicy chicken sandwiches at an all-time high, Rebellyous developed a delicious plant-based option that pleases every palate – herbivores and carnivores alike.
“Food service providers are working hard to meet the needs of a growing population of people choosing to eat plant-based for various reasons, including taste as demonstrated by a recent study sharing a preference for plant-based chicken nuggets over conventional meat nuggets. We’re rolling out distribution to existing customers and anticipate an influx of new restaurant chains, franchises and food establishments spicing up their menus with the Spicy Kickin’ Patty.”
Christie Lagally, Founder and CEO, Rebellyous Foods
Rebellyous Spicy Kickin’ Plant-Based Patty is 100% vegan and free of cholesterol, antibiotics, and hormones, with less saturated fat than chicken patties. The new spicy patties are just as easy to prepare as their chicken-based counterparts and offer many nutritional benefits of plant-based protein.
“Our customers love Rebellyous plant-based chicken and schools have been clamoring for a spicy version of our delicious patty. We’re so excited to heed the call and launch this product, offering our customers a feisty new way to enjoy planet-friendly, delicious comfort foods.”
Kristie Middleton, Chief Relationship Officer, Rebellyous Foods
The new Rebellyous Spicy Kickin’ Patty offers the same juicy bite Rebellyous customers love with a crunchy, peppery coating. The product meets the USDA National School Lunch Program’s requirements for 2 meat/meat alternate credits and offers 1/4 grain credit as well.
“Our students love the Rebellyous Plant-Based Kickin’ Nuggets. Even our staunch meat-eating students enjoy the product since it is so good. We look forward to the new Spicy Plant-Based Patties and can’t wait to put them on the menu for our students to enjoy. I know they will be a hit, especially with our older students who demand anything spicy and I expect them to fly off our shelves.”
