The Mission Behind the Meals
Tofurky isn’t just about food; it’s about respect — for people, animals, and the planet. Their mission is simple: make great food everyone can enjoy, no matter what label they wear.

What The Tofurky Company actually does
Tofurky makes plant-based versions of everyday meat products at its production facility and headquarters in Hood River, Oregon: deli slices, Chick’n, sausages, steak bites, Pepp’roni and its signature holiday roasts. All of its chilled and frozen products are 100% vegan, and the company says it works with suppliers that meet its non-GMO ingredient standards.
Its stated mission is “to make great food everyone can enjoy, and do it with respect for people, animals and the planet.” The brand pitches itself to plant-eaters, meat-eaters and “people who resist labels,” leading with taste so that swapping animal protein for plant protein feels like an easy choice rather than a sacrifice.

Proof, not just claims
Tofurky traces its roots to 1980, when founder Seth Tibbott started making tempeh at a neighborhood co-op in Forest Grove, Oregon. It launched the first Tofurky Feast in 1995 and was acquired by Morinaga in 2023.
Why this belongs on a sustainability directory
Animal agriculture is one of the most resource-intensive parts of the food system. Every Tofurky product is designed to stand in for a specific meat item, from deli turkey to holiday roast, so a purchase replaces animal protein directly rather than adding to the plate. That ties it to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), since the company’s case is that plant-based eating conserves land and water and reduces waste, pollution and carbon emissions, and to SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) through its target on sustainable food production systems that deliver protein with a lighter resource footprint.
