One of the hottest trends in 2018 is the movement towards more frequent plant-forward meals. From family favorites like tacos to trending items such as bowls and meatless burgers, there are countless ways for your shoppers to choose vegetarian meals more frequently.
Today, we’re announcing an opportunity for you to help you shoppers experience plant-forward options that are protein-packed and taste amazing. House Foods in partnership with the Retail Dietitians Business Alliance are launching the Tofu Boost: A Plant Based Recipe Contest, with a winning prize of a $1,000 stipend for an education conference of your choice.
