Hodo Sees Continued U.S. Retail Expansion Fueled by Consumer Demand for Products That Are Plant-based, Minimally processed, and High in Protein including Tofu Blocks, Cubes, Dips, Scrambles, Burgers, Crumbles and Entrees.
OAKLAND, CA, January 15, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — 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.
