MingBings, a plant-based frozen food brand founded by Iron Chef Ming Tsai, is now available at over 800 Publix and more than 400 Sprouts locations, increasing its retail presence in key United States markets including Southern California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, and the rest of the Southeast.
James Beard and Emmy award-winning Chef Tsai blends the ancient Chinese “bing” format with familiar Western flavors like cheeseburger and taco, but with a plant-based, gluten-free and dairy-free spin. MingsBings’ brand motto, “Eat Good. Feel Good. Do Good.” represents Tsai’s mission to make plant-based food tasty and healthy while also giving back. A portion of all sales are donated to Family Reach and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
“As consumers demand better-tasting plant-based options, we’re honored to bring MingsBings to the shelves at Publix and Sprouts. These incredible retailers have great, loyal customer bases eager to try new things,” said Tsai. “Their decision to partner with us
is a testament to how retail stores’ are now bringing attention to sourcing delicious, healthy, easy-to-prepare food brands for families on the go. We’re excited about this expansion and making it easier for customers to find MingsBings at more retailers nationwide!”
In addition to being plant-based, the full MingsBings entrée, breakfast, and sauce lines are gluten-free, dairy-free, and food allergen-friendly. The pockets are heat-and-eat ready and can be prepared in an air fryer for 12-14 minutes and in an oven for 20-25 minutes.
Woburn, Massachusetts-headquartered MingsBings launched first as a direct-to-consumer brand and has quickly gained traction in retail and foodservice outlets, is now on shelves at over 4,000 grocery stores throughout the United States, including Wegmans, Target and Whole Foods as well as Sprouts and Publix. In addition, the brand is offered in major sports concession stands such as Boston’s Fenway Park and the Miami Dolphins’ Hard Rock Stadium, and at colleges, universities, and prep schools.
