Total plant-based meat alternatives
Combined refrigerated and frozen plant-based meat alternatives generated nearly $93 million in the four March 2022 weeks ending March 27th, which puts sales up 3.6% versus March 2021. However, dollar gains were boosted by the inflation seen in frozen meat alternatives, while unit and volume sales were down year-on-year.
