You probably associate CVS with the place you pick up your prescription, run into for bandages or ibuprofen, get an extra long receipt, or make an emergency cruelty-free beauty pick-up. But what you might not know is just how many plant-based snacks are waiting on the drugstore’s shelves.

Vegan snacks at convenience stores
CVS vegan options extend beyond the snack aisle. Shoppers have been able to find the ever-popular Beyond Burgers in the refrigerated goods section since 2020. The plant-based meat brand also launched its Beyond Meatballs—vegan meat that is pre-rolled and pre-seasoned with a blend of Italian spices—at 5,000 CVS locations nationwide that same year. Plus, Wicked Kitchen’s vegan meals and refrigerated staples such as plant milks are also in stock.
The national drugstore chain has become a reliable source of vegan finds throughout the years—whether you’re in a pinch for vegan burgers for a barbecue potluck or you’re on the road and in need of some snacks.
