DiGiorno and Stouffer’s bring plant-based ‘meat’ to frozen Italian food

Nestle is expanding its plant-based ‘meat’ offerings to a category seldom covered in the meatless world: the frozen Italian food you buy when you’d rather not order in or start from scratch. It’s introducing both a DiGiorno pizza (the Rising Crust Meatless Supreme) and a Stouffer’s lasagna (the Meatless Lasagna) that use Sweet Earth’s Awesome Grounds in place of ex-animals. While Nestle hasn’t outlined their exact nutritional value, the mix of yellow pea protein, wheat gluten and multiple veggie oils promises the usual meat-like taste while delivering plenty of protein, fiber and, of course, reduced guilt.
