Veggiecraft Raises the Bar with its New and Improved Formula and Packaging, Offering More Innovative and Appetizing Options for Consumers at Shelf

Veggiecraft announces a nationwide relaunch of its new and improved veggie-based pasta formula and new packaging.

Veggie-based pasta brand, Veggiecraft incorporates new manufacturing process to launch eight revitalized products featuring improved recipes and contemporary packaging

Sandpoint, ID., July 10, 2024 – Veggiecraft, known for its dynamic lineup of veggie-based pastas, announced the nationwide relaunch of its improved formula and new packaging to introduce more consumers to its offerings. The updates include a completely refined recipe and a modern packaging design for all its items including Veggiecraft Cauliflower Rotini, Veggiecraft Zucchini Penne, and Veggiecraft Sweet Potato Spaghetti. The new formula now features a classic, neutral flavor and a sturdier al dente consistency that holds its shape.

Since its founding, Veggiecraft’s three-ingredient pastas have stood out in the plant-based pasta scene by providing an easy way to eat veggies. Each serving contains one-third of your daily recommended vegetables. To inform the relaunch, Veggiecraft relied heavily on consumer feedback to keep the key attributes brand fans love—veggies in every bite, gluten-free, and a good source of protein and fiber–while enhancing the taste and texture to closely resemble traditional pasta.

“People have this perception that veggie-based pasta isn’t as tasty as traditional pasta, but choosing a gluten free pasta option shouldn’t mean missing out on flavor texture,” said Caroline Creasey, Veggiecraft Brand Manager. “With our new Veggiecraft pasta line-up, everyone can enjoy their veggies while still savoring every bite.”

The product line includes eight new and improved, vegetable-based pasta options spanning a growing assortment of trendy pasta shapes and three original flavors including: Veggiecraft Cauliflower Rotini, Veggiecraft Cauliflower Penne, Veggiecraft Cauliflower Spaghetti, Veggiecraft Cauliflower Elbows, Veggiecraft Zucchini Penne, Veggiecraft Zucchini Spaghetti, Veggiecraft Sweet Potato Penne, and Veggiecraft Sweet Potato Spaghetti.

These veggie-based pastas offer the perfect simple recipe swap and mealtime solution that parents, or anyone, can rely on to sneak a few extra veggies into their home meals and family dinners.

The Veggiecraft lineup is now available nationally in the pasta aisle at major retailers including Kroger, Food Lion, Publix and Winco, as well as on Amazon, for a suggested retail price of $3.49-$4.99. Veggiecraft is owned by Litehouse Inc., a leading consumer packaged foods company that’s been around for over 60 years.
