Cauliflower-Crusted Mozzarella Sticks

Wholly Veggie's Mozzarella Style Sticks are Gluten-Free

— October 23, 2021 — Lifestyle
Wholly Veggie's Mozzarella Style Sticks are plant-based cheese sticks that are made with a gluten-free coating thanks to cauliflower powder that comes from Outcast Foods' imperfect produce. The waste-reducing, free-from snack helps to make an impact with upcycled foods, all the while catering to consumers who are interested in eating more veggies or reducing or eliminating their intake of gluten. Free from soy and GMO ingredients, the sticks are also completely suitable for vegans and open to all snackers in general.

While the brand's Mozzarella Style Sticks are packaged with a marinara dipping sauce, the Cheddar Style Sticks are paired with a jalapeno crema sauce for dipping.

Thanks to these cheese-style products, Wholly Veggie sees even more opportunity to begin incorporating more upcycled ingredients into future products.
Trend Themes
1. Upcycled Foods - Wholly Veggie's use of cauliflower powder from Outcast Foods' imperfect produce highlights the potential for utilizing upcycled ingredients in food products.
2. Plant-based Snacks - Wholly Veggie's Mozzarella Style Sticks cater to a growing consumer interest in plant-based snacks that are free from dairy and animal products.
3. Gluten-free Alternatives - Wholly Veggie's gluten-free coating on their Mozzarella Style Sticks serves as an example of the demand for gluten-free options in the food industry.
Industry Implications
1. Food - The food industry can innovate by exploring the use of upcycled ingredients and incorporating more plant-based and gluten-free alternatives in their products.
2. Catering - Catering companies can differentiate themselves by offering plant-based, gluten-free, and upcycled food options to meet the needs of diverse consumers.
3. Food Waste Management - Companies specializing in food waste management could benefit from partnering with food producers to repurpose and upcycle leftover or imperfect ingredients for use in new products like Wholly Veggie's Mozzarella Style Sticks.
