Award-Winning Sweet Earth Foods Debuts Eight New Plant-Based Products

MOSS LANDING, Calif., June 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Sweet Earth Foods, an award-winning and rapidly growing plant-based food innovator, today announced the national launch of a selection of eight new burritos and entrée bowls.

The delicious new products are easy to heat up in the microwave or conventional oven, offering consumers quick and flavorful plant-based protein options to fuel on-the-go lifestyles.
