LAFAYETTE, Colo. – Colorado plant-based food brand OZO® is thrilled to announce the official retail launch of its new True Bite™ Plant-Based Bacon, now available in Sprouts Farmers Market nationwide and coming soon to more retailers. The True Bite Experience brings together everything you know and love about bacon, for a complete savory experience made from plants. This launch follows the successful launch of True Bite Chicken cutlets and shreds earlier this year.
With three incredible flavor offerings, including Cracked Black Pepper, Applewood Smoke and Spicy Jalapeño, the new bacon products from OZO will satisfy the desire to wake up and enjoy the smell, sizzle and taste of bacon, but with zero cholesterol and less fat. Crafted with a unique process that combines cutting edge capabilities, culinary ingenuity and plant-based expertise, this first-of-its kind plant-based bacon is sure to impress bacon-lovers everywhere – from the home-cooked breakfast heroes to the BLT enthusiasts.
“We heard from bacon lovers that they’re open to plant-based versions, but they’ve yet to find one that fully satisfies their craving for the savory, flavorful taste and crispy, sizzling texture of bacon,” said Darcey Macken, Planterra Foods CEO. “Which is why we’re thrilled to launch this innovative plant-based bacon product as part of our True Bite promise to delight the senses, from first sight to last bite. OZO Plant-Based Bacon is unlike anything else in the market and we know food lovers everywhere will enjoy it.”
