15 years ago, Daiya was among the first to launch plant-based cheese and years later, the brand is still setting itself apart with the first plant-based and allergen-friendly flatbreads and chicken pizza in the frozen aisle.
At Natural Products Expo West 2023, Daiya will be sharing the first look at its Plant-Based Chick'n, Smoked Bac'n, & Ranch Flatbread. This quick and easy meal option features new plant-based Chick'n shreds made from a wholesome combination of peas, oats and rice, plus smoked plant-based bac'n, tangy ranch and plant-powered mozzarella shreds all layered onto a crispy, gluten-free crust.
Also at the trade show, the brand will be debuting its new Daiya BBQ Plant-Based Chick'n Thin Crust Pizza with a gluten-free crust and savory toppings, and hosting a Happy Hour for attendees.
