Take-and-Bake Vegan Mac & Cheese Trays Expand to Nearly 100 Costco Locations

Chef Ayindè Howell’s plant-based Mac & Yease, a take-and-bake vegan macaroni and cheese, can now be found in nearly 100 Costco stores across the Southeastern United States. Created as a tribute to his great grandmother's Sunday supper staple, this creamy recipe is veganized with non-dairy milks and cruelty-free cheeses, providing a protein-rich and indulgent meal option for shoppers. Costco stores in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Puerto Rico will now carry 32 oz trays of this popular macaroni ‘n’ cheese.

As a lifelong vegan, Howell founded iEatGrass, the parent company of Mac & Yease, to provide relatable and delicious plant-based options in the market. With the help of Costco, the Black-owned company is expanding its reach and making inclusive plant-based food choices more accessible. The success of Mac & Yease demonstrates a growing demand for tasty vegan products, and customers can also purchase these take-and-bake trays online at ieatgrass.com for nationwide shipping if they are unable to visit a participating Costco location.
