Farm Rich Debuts First Plant-Based Mozzarella Style Sticks at Kroger and Walmart

Farm Rich, a leading US brand of frozen cheese sticks, announces it is adding several new snacks to its lineup, including its first-ever Plant-Based Mozzarella Style Sticks. The cheese sticks are now available in the freezer sections at US retailers nationwide, including Walmart and Kroger.

“These new plant-based cheese sticks from Farm Rich are a game changer”

Described as an indulgent cheese alternative snack, the new product is made with melty dairy-free cheese in a crispy golden breading and comes with a side of marinara sauce. Each serving includes 4 grams of protein and 5% of daily recommended fiber. 

According to Farm Rich, it was the first company to introduce frozen mozzarella sticks into grocery stores in 1982. With the new Plant-Based Mozzarella Style Sticks, the brand says it now offers a snack that even consumers with lactose-intolerance can enjoy.

“These new plant-based cheese sticks from Farm Rich are a game changer,” says Mia Syn, MS, RD, registered dietitian and nutrition expert. “A plant-forward approach to our diets has a proven track record for bettering our overall health, and these new ‘cheesy’ snacks are a great substitute for those who love breaded cheese sticks but need more plant-based options.”

Cheesy inventions

Breaded cheese sticks are a popular American snack and appetizer, but only a few brands to date have capitalized on offering a dairy-free alternative. Wholly Veggie sells gluten-free Mozzarella-Style Sticks made with cauliflower and upcycled veggies, while startup NoDoh is one of the first to offer innovative plant-based cheese sticks for food service and retail.

The brand started with Mozzarella Sticks, and these newest products show our continued commitment to offering a variety of tasty snacks while keeping up with the evolving needs of our consumers.”
