Bel Brands USA is excited to announce that Babybel Plant-Based is now available at retailers nationwide. The creamy, delicious plant-based snack can be found at Whole Foods, Sam's Club and Fresh Thyme, as well as select Costco locations in the Southeast.

Perfect for flexitarians and dairy-free consumers alike, cheese lovers can unpeel the goodness of Babybel Plant-Based to discover a soft, smooth, and creamy texture. Babybel Plant-Based was developed by leveraging Bel Brands USA's 150 years of cheese making experience to create a product everyone can enjoy.

"At Bel Brands USA we have a continued commitment to bringing forward great tasting cheese options that meet our consumers' evolving needs, including expanding our portfolio to plant-based offerings" said Shannon Maher, chief marketing officer at Bel Brands USA. "Plant-based snack cheese offerings to-date lack a true dairy flavor and texture. We recognized this gap and went to work to develop this delicious snack so that every cheese-lover has the opportunity to enjoy Babybel."

Mimicking the taste and texture of Mini Babybel, this new snack was crafted to taste like Mozzarella cheese and offers a good source of calcium and B12. And because the iconic new snack needs iconic new packaging, the certified plant-based and dairy-free snack is packaged in Babybel's signature wax coating, now in green to easily identify as plant-based.

Babybel Plant-Based is available in a six-count bag at Whole Foods and Fresh Thyme, as well as a 32-count pack at Costco and 20-count pack at Sam's Club, with expanded availability to come throughout 2022. Packaging is made of 80% paper and the wrappers inside are certified home compostable by TUV Austria. Babybel also now offers an alternative way for consumers to recycle products in partnership with Terracycle.

Bel Brands USA offers a growing portfolio of plant-based products, including Boursin Dairy-Free and its wholly plant-based line, Nurishh.
