Imitation Italian Chicken

Gardein's Mock Chicken Filets Channel Classic Italian Flavors

— December 31, 2014 — Lifestyle
Switching over to a totally meat-free diet means cutting out staples from Italian cooking like sausages, pepperoni and beef, but with Gardein's mock chicken Marinara Crispy Chick'n Filets, you can feel good about eating cruelty-free, plus you won’t have to miss out on any flavor—or protein.

These imitation chicken filets come with a marinara sauce packet, which is perfect for adding to tacos, sandwiches, salads or pasta. With 22 grams of protein per two Chick'n filets, this is a huge portion of your daily requirements taken care of in a single serving. Plus, the mock chicken is loaded with iron, zinc and B12, which is especially difficult for some vegans and vegetarians to come by. To give its customers that extra assurance about what they’re eating, Gardein's product packages are stamped with labels to indicate that the Chick’n is certified vegan dairy-free and made from non-GMO canola, soy and wheat.
Trend Themes
1. Mock Meat Products - The trend towards mock meat products in the food industry offers an opportunity for companies to innovate and create new meat substitutes that are cruelty-free, high in protein, and rich in nutrients.
2. Plant-based Protein - The rise of plant-based protein in the food industry presents an opportunity for companies to develop and market new plant-based alternatives to meat that offer similar levels of protein and nutrients.
3. Vegan Certification - The trend towards vegan certification in the food industry presents opportunities for companies to create new products and brands that appeal specifically to vegans and vegetarians.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry is ripe for disruptive innovation in the form of new meat substitutes, plant-based protein sources and vegan-certified products.
2. Health and Wellness - The health and wellness industry can capitalize on the trend towards mock meat and plant-based protein by developing and promoting products that are high in nutrients and offer similar health benefits to meat-based products.
3. Environmental Sustainability - The trend towards plant-based protein and vegan-certified products represents an opportunity for companies to develop and promote more environmentally sustainable food products that have a lower impact on the planet than traditional meat-based products.
