Plant-Based Bacon Bits

Hanley's Foods Bacom Bits Product is Ethically Made Out of Mushrooms

Hanley's Foods launches plant-based bacon bits for individuals who want to be a little bit more conscious of their diet both health-wise and ethically. The product is already sold out on the company's website, which testifies to the growing demand in the category of sustainable meat alternatives.

The plant-based bacon product has been playfully named 'Bacom.' Not only does the treat alleviate consumers of guilt, but it is also quite nutritious. Made out of mushrooms and seasoned with Cajun, the crunchy goodness is low on carbs, and it is free from GMO, sugar, and gluten.

Hanley's Foods' plant-based bacon bits can be consumed in multiple ways — either by themselves or as seasoning. From topping on soups and salads to a hearty treat as a trail mix or as an addition to a mac and cheese plate, Bacom is accessible.
