These new OZO™ products offer a spin on plant-based proteins in the categories of chicken, turkey and beef, with bold flavors for delicious meat-free possibilities stored conveniently in the refrigerator and freezer at home.

Two frozen plant-based chicken products, including Nuggets, with 14g of complete plant-based protein and the plant-based Chicken Patty, with 12g of plant-based protein are perfectly breaded making them extra crispy on the outside, and super tender and flavorful on the inside. The frozen plant-based Italian Style Meatballs, with 12g of plant-based protein are made with real tomatoes and onions and 30% less saturated fat than pork meatballs.
