Jimmy Dean brand, maker of America's favorite protein breakfast1, and part of the Tyson Foods portfolio of brands, is meeting the growing demand for meat alternative options with the launch of two new sandwiches featuring a plant-based patty: Jimmy Dean® Plant-Based Patty, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwich and Jimmy Dean Delights® Plant-Based Patty & Frittata Sandwich. Demand for plant-based food options has grown exponentially with retail sales up 148% more than last year amid the on-set of COVID-19 in mid-March. By the end of 2020, a majority of Americans reported transitioning to a more flexitarian diet, striving to incorporate more plant-based foods alongside their meat staples. Many Americans are also choosing breakfast time to incorporate plant-based options versus other meals. New options include: Jimmy Dean® Plant-Based Patty, Egg & Cheese Croissant Sandwiches; Featuring a plant-based patty made of soy protein and egg whites, along with American Cheese and real, whole eggs, all between a flaky croissant, the sandwich provides 13g of protein per serving. The sandwiches are available in a 12-count package at Sam's Club locations nationwide. Jimmy Dean Delights® Plant-Based Patty & Frittata Sandwiches (Launching this Spring), Featuring a vegetable and grain patty made of soy protein, black beans, brown rice, quinoa, and egg white topped with a spinach and egg white frittata and American cheese, all inside a whole wheat English muffin, providing 15g of protein and 280 calories per serving.
