Stretchy, Gooey Vegan Mozzarella Sticks You’ll Love
Who doesn’t love mozzarella sticks? Gooey, melty, and satisfyingly crispy, they’re a first-rate snack. But your mozzarella sticks shouldn’t come at a cost to loving mother cows exploited by the dairy industry, which forcibly impregnates them and tears away their calves to keep them in a cycle of pregnancy and milk production. Vegan mozzarella sticks deliver all the “cheesy” goodness you crave while being kind to cows. So dip in and enjoy each bite, knowing that your snack is helping to create a more compassionate world.
