Kraft Heinz keeping pace with plant-based food trend

According to Kraft Heinz, distribution of better-for-you mac and cheese products is "outpacing the overall category by more than six times," however less than 30% of buyers are repeating purchase, citing taste and texture as reasons why.

“The Kraft Heinz Not Company creates plant-based versions of fan-favorite foods that taste like the real thing, yet don’t require people to drastically change their eating habits,” says Lucho Lopez-May, CEO of The Kraft Heinz Not Company, in the news release.

According to the news release, the Kraft Heinz Not Company plans to "scale into several more categories" and begin international expansion in 2024.
