MorningStar Farms Bets on 1970s Heritage With Packaging Overhaul Across Frozen Range

MorningStar Farms, a US plant-based brand founded in 1974, has rebranded its frozen range with a new identity and packaging system. The new design, featuring woodcut illustrations, warmer colors, and retro details, aims to reconnect with the brand's heritage while standing out in the crowded plant-based category. The redesign, developed by Design Bridge and Partners, focuses on simplicity, farm imagery, and authenticity to appeal to consumers seeking clarity and trust in their food choices.

The brand's Vice President & General Manager, Alicia Mosley, stated that the refresh helped MorningStar Farms rediscover its own voice and create a more modern and emotionally resonant experience on shelf. By emphasizing the brand's everyday versatility and authenticity, MorningStar Farms aims to provide consumers with a lasting and meaningful choice in the plant-based market. The new packaging, rolling out nationally, is part of a larger brand platform called Where Goodness Grows and reflects a move away from the "fake meat" look dominating the industry.
