Another plant-based snack company is cashing in on making munchies that resemble items typically made from animal products. Outstanding Foods just announced that that it has partnered with Snoop Dogg to make PigOut Pigless Pork Rinds.
The company said that Snoop’s investment will help pave the way for the future of plant-based snacks. Bill Glaser, co-founder and CEO of Outstanding Foods, added:
“To have Snoop aligned with Outstanding Foods is not only checking off an item on my bucket list, but it’s also exposing Snoop’s millions of fans to our tasty as hell, protein-packed products.”

Outstanding Foods introduced the new product last month. The Pigless Pork Rinds, made from pea protein, are a vegan version of traditional fried pig skins.
They are available in four flavors: Original, Nacho Cheese, Hella Hot, and Texas BBQ. Snoop Dogg said:
“I’m excited to partner with the Outstanding Foods team. They got some great snacks coming out…. Wait until you see what else we got up our sleeves, ya dig.”
This isn’t Outstanding Foods first venture into pigless products. In 2018, the company announced the launch of its vegan PigOut Chips.

The vegan bacon chips, made from mushrooms, are presently sold in Sprouts, Whole Foods, Kroger, Wegmans, Fairway, and Plum Market stores nationwide. They come in a variety of flavors, including Original, Cheddar, Chipotle, and Kansas City BBQ, and contain 73 percent less saturated fat and 69 percent less sodium than traditional pork bacon. The mushroom-based snack does not contain cholesterol since it is made without animal products.
Outstanding Foods revealed it is currently working on another version of the PigOut Chips that will look like a strip of bacon.
According to Outstanding Foods, each 3.5-ounce bag (retailing for $3.99) of the company’s new PigOut Pigless Pork rinds features 25 grams of plant-based protein and is free from gluten, soy, GMOs, cholesterol, and trans fats.
Ten percent of the sales generated at Snoop’s unique PigOut site, www.piglessrinds.com, go to his non-profit organization Snoop Special Stars. The charity provides inner-city children the opportunity to participate in cheer and youth football.
