What happened to Nuteena?

Answer 1

Nuteena and it's close relative Numete were produced by Loma Linda Foods & Worthington Foods. Some years ago they were purchased by Morningstar Farms who produces the most popular brand of meat substitutes found on grocery store frozen foods shelves. About 5 years ago Kellogg's purchased Morningstar Farms (along with all of its assets). After studying sales data and cost structure, Kellogg's decided to discontinue making Nuteena, Numete and a number of other popular canned and frozen meat substitutes. Over the years, several individuals (including myself) and groups have tried to purchase the "recipe" for some of these discontinued items, however Kellogg's has declined these offers saying that "in this competitive market, Kellogg's feels it would not be in their best interest to sell or otherwise give away these recipes." Some have conjectured that Kellogg's stopped producing certain item due to the fact they contain peanuts. I don't believe this is true because of the fact that many items Kellogg's manufactures contain peanuts. There are several replacements for Nuteena and Numete including Cedar Lakes Nutty Supreme, however they are not quite as good at the originals. You should try them for yourself though. You can purchase them from some health food stores and from Amazon.com online. Hope this helps.
