OAKLAND,
CA – January 15, 2025 – Celebrated as the best-tasting tofu in America, Hodo announced today their continued retail expansion and is
excited to bring their tofu and flavorful ready-to-eat products to store
shelves at leading grocery retailers: Meijer, Harris Teeter, and Giant Martin’s. This expansion is driven by a surge in consumer demand
for nutritious, minimally processed, plant-based proteins like tofu. Families
are also looking for economical meal ideas incorporating great-tasting,
plant-based proteins that are easy to make and/or ready-to-eat.
“The
tofu category saw an +8% sales growth from 2021-2023 (GFI/SPINS) and younger
generations are eating more tofu,” shares Hodo Founder Minh Tsai. “This
provides a great reason for retailers to expand their tofu offerings to provide
protein options that are not only flavorful, fresh, and nutritious but also
offer ingredient transparency.”
Hodo’s
products are made with organic, non-GMO soybeans to create tofu that is rich in
protein, and calcium, a source of fiber, and a complete plant protein with all
nine amino acids. Hodo continues to innovate the category with the launch of Saucy Tofu Kits in
2024 appealing to health-minded, busy families and those who are new to tofu.
Hodo now offers more than 20 retail SKU’s including entrees, dips, flavored
tofu blocks, tofu “egg” scramble, tofu veggie burgers, nuggets and more.
