Tofurky Launches New Plant-Based Burger In Time For Veganuary

by Alix Coe | January 9, 2020

Vegan food company Tofurky has launched a new plant-based burger in the US — and it’s on sale now at Target.

The beef-style burger is made from a combination of soy, vegetable protein, and wheat gluten, with a light seasoning of salt, onion, garlic, and black pepper.

“I can’t wait for Target shoppers to try our new Plant-Based Burger” said Jaime Athos, president and CEO of Tofurky, in an email to Raise Vegan.

“Many flexitarians resolve to go completely plant-based for the month of January, so we wanted provide a new burger option now, ahead of summer grilling, that is affordable, delicious, and accessible.”

The burgers are being sold in a two-patty pack for $5.99 at 600 Target stores across the US.

Tofurky is the leading independent producer of plant-based proteins in the US, and is serious about creating sustainable food for the health of our planet.

The company stated in an email to Raise Vegan that it uses “local and organic ingredients whenever possible.”

The packaging of the new Tofurky product is also designed to be eco-friendly, using 23 percent less paper packaging and 69 percent less plastic than other leading brands.
