The agreement was effective Nov. 1.
When Vizient customers search for their contracted options, they'll find some exciting new plant-based foods, including crispy and delicious nuggets, tenders, and patties that are affordable and easy to prepare. Rebellyous' Nuggets, Patties, and Tenders are 100% vegan with no cholesterol, antibiotics, or hormones, and less saturated fat and sodium than conventional chicken products. Its K-12 products meet the USDA standards for 2 meat alternate credits for the National School Lunch Program.

"We are thrilled to be working with Vizient and looking forward to providing their customers with delicious, cost-effective, and sustainable plant-based chicken."
Plant-based foods are gaining momentum amongst consumers and in schools. According to one article, seventy-nine percent of Gen-Z's (those born 1997 – 2012) report they are "eager to go meatless" a few times a week. Recent research from Oxford University concluded that plant-based diets produce 75 percent less greenhouse gas emissions, generate 75 percent less water pollution, and use 75 percent less land than animal-based diets.
