LAFAYETTE, Colo., July 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Colorado-based Planterra Foods is expanding its portfolio of plant-based products in the fresh and frozen category by launching a variety of new items for families to have more options of convenient, delicious plant-based meals at home. Available now, consumers can add the OZO™ Frozen Nuggets (10.6 oz), plant-based Chicken Patties (4, 2.5 oz patties), and Italian Style Meatballs (12-1 oz meatballs) as well as fresh Smokehouse Burgers (2-4 oz patties) and plant-based Ground Turkey (12 oz) to their plant-based rotation of delicious OZO™ meals.

These new OZO™ products offer a spin on plant-based proteins in the categories of chicken, turkey and beef, with bold flavors for delicious meat-free possibilities stored conveniently in the refrigerator and freezer at home. All OZO™ products can be purchased online and found in retailers across the country through the OZO™ store locater.

"We're continuing to expand the plant-based category by offering family favorites that can easily be introduced into meal routines," said Darcey Macken, CEO of Planterra Foods. "We're thrilled to be adding these new plant-based proteins in the fresh and frozen categories that offer more opportunities for flexitarian consumption through high-quality foods with positive protein solutions."

Two frozen plant-based chicken products, including Nuggets, with 14g of complete plant-based protein and the plant-based Chicken Patty, with 12g of plant-based protein are perfectly breaded making them extra crispy on the outside, and super tender and flavorful on the inside. The frozen plant-based Italian Style Meatballs, with 12g of plant-based protein are made with real tomatoes and onions and 30% less saturated fat than pork meatballs. The fresh plant-based Ground Turkey is the only plant-based turkey in the market today and it packs delicious flavor into ground crumbles with 22g of plant-based protein, and the fresh Smokehouse Burger offers 19g of complete plant-based protein with the same delicious smoky flavor OZO™ fans know and love.
