Vegan food manufacturer, Upton's Naturals, teamed with Dot Foods, a food industry re-distributor. The new relationship will increase availability of the brand's popular 100% vegan meat alternatives for distributors, restaurants and foodservice customers nationwide. Providing super versatile, clean-ingredient, heat-and-eat meat substitutes for the ever-growing population of people embracing plant-based diets, here's how the SKUs breakdown:
