HPP-PROCESSED PLANT PROTEIN

Skinny Butcher is a brand of fully cooked entrées with plant-based meat, and hearkens back to an era when the best cuts of meat were found at your neighborhood butcher shop. This first-to-market concept in the plant-based meat category is never frozen with a 75-day shelf life. All Skinny Butcher products are produced without preservatives and made using HPP (high-pressure processing) that virtually eliminates all pathogens and extends shelf life. Skinny Butcher offers four varieties of chef inspired meals: Beefy Bolognese Over Pasta, Buffalo Chick’n Mac & Cheese, Chick’n Pad Thai with Authentic Rice Noodles, and Beefy Stroganoff Over Egg Noodles.
