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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Links-KEEP THEM IN STOCK, PLEASE, June 8, 2009

This review is from: Worthington Super Links, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) (Grocery)

As a vegetarian, I have enjoyed Worthington's Super Links for years. Last summer (2008), they became very difficult to find in ANY local stores and I got nowhere with the company when I tried to find a place to buy/order them. One day, I tried a search on Amazon, found them listed and before I could order, they were out of stock, much to my disappointment. However, Amazon was wonderful as they sent me an email to let me know they were back in stock, at which time I ordered a case. THANKS, Amazon!!!
As for the product, we enjoy them broiled or grilled. They are simply the best tasting hot dog substitute on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super-Links are terrific, March 16, 2007

Super Links are terrific vegetarian weiners. Their flavor is a little like Morning Star Farms Breakfast links - but more weiner-ish. Their texture is firm and their size is plump like Big Franks. Veja Links are good, but Super Links taste much better than Veja Links. However, Big Franks have a savory flavor unlike real weiners that I like even better than Super Links. But, be warned that Big Franks are more tender in texture and not quite as firm for those who like a firm veggie dog.

The best vegetarian hot dogs! After years of trying different brands of vegetarian hot dogs I keep coming back to these. They are even well thought of by my none vegetarian friends and family. My only complaint is that they are not vegan. If they were vegan I would give them 6 stars!
