Upton’s Naturals is a Chicago-based natural foods company focused on plant-based meat alternatives and vegan values. The founder, Daniel Staackmann, started the business in 2006 with the aim of making vegan foods easy to prepare and widely approachable, using simple, real ingredients and traditional flavors updated for today. The company produces a range of meat substitutes and ready-to-eat items for both home kitchens and restaurant menus, operated by a comparatively small team. Its products include vegan soups and other ready-to-eat foods. In 2022, the company expanded its vegan soup offerings with three new varieties: Chick & Wild Rice, Crimson Lentil, and Minestrone.
