Happy Little Plants Meatballs Address Consumer Trends in Foodservice
Hormel Foods’ Happy Little Plants business captures authentic Italian flavor, texture in a plant-forward meatball that pleases both foodservice operators and restaurant patrons
When it comes to finalizing any worthwhile document—a lengthy contract or proposal—it’s critical to review and secure every detail. That process used to be called “dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s.”
Here’s a story where you could say the “i” stands for innovation and the “t’s” refer to taste and texture. It took Hormel Foods about two and half years to develop Happy Little Plants Meatballs, one of the foodservice industry’s first plant-based meatball products. Hormel launched the product last July and showcased it at this year’s National Restaurant Association exhibition.
