Upton’s Naturals is an independently owned natural foods company with a focus on meat alternatives and vegan values. Dedicated to simplicity and the use of real, recognizable ingredients, Upton’s Naturals takes recipes that have been around for thousands of years and updates them for today. Our founder, Daniel Staackmann, started in 2006 with the goal of making vegan foods that are approachable, easy to prepare, and delicious. We now offer a wide variety of meat alternatives and ready-to-eat foods perfect for home kitchens and restaurant menus alike.

Mom, can we buy this soup? It started as a simple question: Why does canned soup taste like.... canned soup? So, we set out to make real, delicious soup that happened to come in a can. Using only real vegetables, seasonings, spices, and our own Seitan, we hit the market with our really good canned soups in September 2020. We spent the weekend at the @cahealthfood show in Toronto spreading the word about the world’s greatest vegan hot dog, Updog! (And maybe we ate some really good vegan stuff while we were there, too!) Vegan shawarma faster than you can say “what’s for dinner?” Simmer our Traditional Seitan in store bought shawarma sauce (we like 365 brand from @wholefoods ), and pile it on a warm pita and top it with cucumber, tomato, onion, and some vegan tzatziki or Greek style yogurt. Then pics or it didn’t happen!
