Mighty Yum Reformulates Plant-Based Lunch Kit Recipes in Response to Demand for Healthier Options for Kids

Mighty Yum has revamped its plant-based Munchables lunch kits to meet the demand for healthier food options for kids. The new formulations for the Turkey and Cheese, and Ham and Cheese varieties exclude soy and gluten, making them more appealing to health-conscious parents. Certified free from harmful additives by Merieux NutriSciences, the revamped products now use a mix of vegetables like parsnips, chickpeas, sweet potatoes, and tomato puree as their base.

Founded by fathers and entrepreneurs Marc Elkman and Howard Panes, Mighty Yum combines fun and health in its lunch kits, which boast vibrant packaging and flavors that cater to young tastes. The company's products are dairy, nut, and GMO-free, with kosher certification from the Orthodox Union. The relaunch of the lunch kits follows an expansion of Mighty Yum's distribution network, with partnerships with online retailers and convenience stores in the Northeastern US, as well as select Target stores nationwide. Chief Operating Officer Scott Kerner emphasizes that the recipe reformulation aligns with the brand's mission to provide innovative plant-powered ingredients for health-conscious consumers.
