Seattle, WA –  Rebellyous Foods, a company that creates groundbreaking manufacturing technology for plant-based meats, announced today the expanded availability of its award winning plant-based nuggets and tenders. Beginning this week the products will be available at 66 Albertsons locations in the Mid-Atlantic region including Safeway and Acme stores, encompassing Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.

Rebellyous Foods’ plant-based nuggets also won the KeHE On Trend® Frozen Award, a top honor from one of North America’s largest food distributors. More than 200 brands applied for the award. A team of innovation gurus judged products on factors including ingredients, innovation, taste, price, packaging, people, and purpose. Rebellyous’ crispy, juicy plant-based nuggets came out on top in the frozen category.

Rebellyous Nuggets and Tenders are 100% plant-based with no cholesterol, antibiotics, or hormones, and less saturated fat than their chicken counterparts. Shoppers will be able to find the products in the freezer case for $5.99.

“Not only are they kid tested and mom approved, but industry tastemakers agree that our plant-based nuggets are a stand out in the industry,” said Christie Lagally, founder and CEO of Rebellyous Foods. “To boot, Rebellyous products are now available on both coasts and in between and we couldn’t be more proud that we are one step closer to accomplishing our mission of making plant-based chicken for all.”

The expansion of these plant-based chicken products comes at a time when sales of plant-based chicken are exploding. According to SPINS data, plant-based chicken is growing at a rate of 18 percent, more than four times higher than chicken from animals, which has grown at a rate of 4 percent.
