About the Brand
For more than 65 years, Worthington and Loma Linda have created new and innovative products for consumers looking for vegetarian options.

Worthington Foods began as Special Foods in 1939, founded by psychiatrist Dr. George Harding. Dr. Harding was committed to providing health for the body and mind with an emphasis on nutrition and vegetarianism. The first products were the meat alternatives Proast (dark meat) and Numete (light meat). Special Foods grew throughout the years and saw a jump in production due to a shortage of meat during WWII. In 1945, Special Foods changed its name to Worthington.

In the decades to follow, Worthington Foods led the way to new vegetarian products. During the 1950s, Worthington increased in size due to acquisitions and new product developments, such as Soyamel and Veja-Link, the world's first vegetarian hot dog. In the 1960s, Worthington experienced two major breakthroughs. First, using spun soy fiber to create a meat-like texture helped to bring new vegetarian products to market. Second, Worthington was the first to bring frozen vegetarian food into supermarkets.

In the 1970s, under new ownership by Miles Laboratories, Worthington introduced Morningstar Farms products. In 1982, the original founders bought back the business and, soon after, Dale Twomley became CEO, taking the company public in 1992. You now find these products under the Kellogg's family of brands.

About Kellogg's
Consumers around the world are enjoying Kellogg products--one of which, Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, has been part of a healthy, delicious morning for a century. The company that makes breakfast and snacks for millions began with only 44 employees in Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1906. Today, Kellogg Company employs more than 25,000 people, manufactures in 17 countries, and sells its products in more than 180 countries.

Over the past 100 years, innovation and a commitment to being the best in the categories in which they compete have guided the company. From being the first company to offer premiums in its cereal boxes to being the first to fortify its cereals, Kellogg has historically been a leader in industry, innovation, and marketing.

The company's founder, W.K. Kellogg, had a strong commitment to nutrition, health, and quality. His vision continues to drive improvement in Kellogg's products and processes, with the goal of providing great-tasting, nutritious products that meet the most rigorous quality standards.

The company’s brands include Kellogg’s, Keebler, Pop-Tarts, Eggo, Cheez-It, Nutri-Grain, Rice Krispies, Murray, Austin, Morningstar Farms, Famous Amos, Carrs, and Kashi, among others.

Customer Reviews

The KING of vege hotdogs!
Big Franks Rule! The Worthington brand Super Links are pretty close, but they don't quite compare to the Big Franks. First of all, these are even bigger than the Super Links (20 oz. versus 19 oz. per pack of 12). Second, these have better texture (doesn't crumble; resembles more like meat). Third, these taste better. Combine with Worthington Chili to make some great vegetarian chili dogs. Dice them up to use in casseroles. Cut into chunks and use with pasta (as "meatballs"). Or just nuke them and eat with ketchup. No matter how you eat these, you'll love 'em.

Delicious Alternative
I first had the Big Franks while visiting a friend during high school and I've loved them ever since. They do not taste exactly like traditional meat hotdogs and the closest description of the flavor that I can come up with is something like a light-flavored vienna sausage. Otherwise, you can use the same condiments as regular hotdogs, or add mayo to add a bit more of a creamy flavor to them.

My Favorite
Loma Linda products are very hard to find in stores so I was thrilled to see them on Amazon. I have eaten these since I was a child and they are one of my favorite foods. Some of my friends say they are an acquired taste, but those who like them seem to love them.
