Premium-Meets-Affordable
As more millennial consumers seek better-for-me protein, Mighty Spark is providing a premium and affordable solution for Walmart shoppers.

With the average American household spending just 37 minutes for meal preparation*, Mighty Spark's premium poultry adds further time-saving value because it's pre-seasoned with whole food ingredients. Consumers can save time and money with a purchase of Mighty Spark because the company has done the work of adding Jalapeños, bacon, sundried tomatoes, peppers and more to their various patties and ground blends.
