As COVID-19 alters our paths and expectations, we want you to know that Tofurky is rallying every resource available to us, to protect our employees and deliver safe food to you. This means that we will remain open as an essential business during COVID-19 mandates. In order to do so, we are addressing everything from legislative employee protections, to re-organizing our production floors for safe working distances and vigilantly monitoring our supply chains. 

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has food and beverage processors scrambling to ensure their employees are safe, their operations are uninterrupted and their supply chains are intact. Here's a look at how one company is handling the situation.

As one of the world’s largest food companies, the Kraft Heinz Company takes seriously its role in feeding consumers and their families. As the world continue to address the very real implications of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, Kraft Heinz – which is co-headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh – has committed to donating $12 million globally to ensure people across the globe have the food they need during this challenging time.

We want to share a little bit with you about what is going on at our kitchens. Even as the demand on us to get food out there is great, we are committed to the health and safety of our employees and to ensure that we continue to maintain the highest quality standards of food production.

At Beyond Meat, we are committed to protecting and improving human health, the safety and the well-being of consumers, our employees, our partners and the communities where we operate. As we continue to monitor the ever-changing situation, we thank our devoted team for the diligence and dedication to keeping ourselves and everyone we serve secure as we work to maintain a safe and uninterrupted supply of our product.
