Natural Harmony Foods Inc, a producer and marketer of natural protein foods, has begun shipments of its SoyLean brand products to Publix Super Markets, the nation’s sixth-largest grocery retailer.

Publix stores initially will carry SoyLean flame-broiled beef patties, with more SoyLean products expected to be added soon. Natural Harmony Foods has shipped the beef patties to all Publix distribution centers, and they are appearing in the meat department freezer cases at most of the 850-plus Publix supermarkets in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
