  The classic Tofuky roast can be a grand centerpiece of any meal.
Since its humble beginnings in 1980, Tofurky has become one of the best-known meat alternatives. It's been mentioned on popular TV shows such as "Jeopardy," "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and "The X-Files" and is even mentioned in the new hit movie, "27 Dresses."

Now it can add one more connection—a corporate relationship with The HSUS.

Delicious Products that Support The HSUS

Beginning immediately with its deli slices, packaging for Tofurky all-vegetarian products will carry the HSUS logo. Other products will follow—including roasts, hot dogs, sausages, franks, burgers, jerky and more.

"One important goal of The HSUS is to encourage market solutions that benefit animals. So it's a privilege to share the stage with a company producing a healthy and animal-friendly product," said Paul Shapiro, senior director of The HSUS' factory farming campaign. "We want our members and supporters to know that this delicious, satisfying, and humane food should be on their shopping list."

Tofurky makes a bounty of scrumptious meat alternatives that can be used in many recipes.  
"Including the HSUS logo on all of our packaging further demonstrates our commitment to creating a more humane world," stated Seth Tibbott, CEO of Turtle Island Foods, the maker of Tofurky. "We're proud to be working with The Humane Society of the United States."
