OAKLAND, CALIF. — Plant-based protein company Hodo has expanded distribution for its tofu products in Meijer, Harris Teeter and Giant Martin's retail stores.

Hodo said its more than 20 retail SKUs include entrees, dips, flavored tofu blocks, tofu "egg" scrambles, tofu veggie burgers, and nuggets. Its most recent new launch in 2024 was Saucy Tofu Kits.

These products meet the demand for easy, ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat plant-based products that are minimally processed, Hodo said.

"The tofu category saw an +8% sales growth from 2021-2023 (GFI/SPINS) and younger generations are eating more tofu," said Minh Tsai, Hodo founder. "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."

According to Hodo, all of its 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’s new retail partners now carry the following products:

• Meijer: Extra Firm Tofu (Hodo's top-selling item), Organic Miso Tofu, Organic Indian Spiced Tofu and Thai Curry Nuggets
• Giant Martin's: Organic Miso Tofu, Thai Curry Nuggets and Vegan All-Day Egg Scramble
• Harris Teeter: Extra Firm Tofu, Organic Miso Tofu, Organic Indian Spiced Tofu, Thai Curry Nuggets and Chermoula Moroccan Cubes
