Tyson Foods adds alt-meat sandwiches to Jimmy Dean line

Tyson Foods is adding breakfast sandwiches with soyprotein patties to its Jimmy Dean product line.

The plant-based sandwiches are the latest offerings from America’s biggest meat company that cater to the fast-growing alternative protein segment, and they’re the first under the iconic Jimmy Dean sausage line.

The Springdale, Arkansas- based company said Wednesday in a statement that it’s selling an egg and cheese croissant sandwich with a plant-based patty at Sam’s Club locations in the U.S. A frittata sandwich with a patty made from soy, black beans, brown rice, quinoa and egg whites will be available this spring.
