Following the launch of Naturli’ plant-based mince and burgers in the meat aisle last month, Sainsbury’s has also launched over 20 meat-free options including seven new Sainsbury’s Love Your Veg! ready meals and four redeveloped Sainsbury’s’ favourites which are now vegan. These new and innovative plant-based products are now available in-store and online, which are set to delight the millions of flexitarians in the UK.
As part of the supermarket’s support of plant-based lifestyles, the launch includes the expanded Sainsbury’s Love Your Veg! range, comprises seven new vegetarian and vegan ready meals, each developed to make eating plant-based even easier. Highlights includes an on-trend alternative for the summer, Mac ‘n Jack, combining two street-food sensations – macaroni cheese with jackfruit, as well Chilli Non-Carne & Rice and Veggie Katsu Curry with sweet potato and sticky rice.
For those searching for a more realistic meat alternatives, Naturli’ Minced and Naturli’ Patties have been designed to look and taste like meat, with a strong umami flavour and texture plus the addition of the beetroot to retain an authentic ‘redness’ when cooked. The culmination of years of development is a natural, plant-based meatiness that’s set to take the UK flexitarian market by storm. As increasing numbers of customers are choosing to take a flexitarian approach to eating, Sainsbury’s is the first UK retailer to sell these fresh meat-free products right next to their real meat counterparts in the chilled aisle in 400 stores across the UK.
Other meat-free products due to launch include the Vivera Pulled Veggie, Vivera fish burger and Tofurky Italian sausage.
Rachael Matthews, Meat-Free Product Development Manager at Sainsbury’s, comments: “There are already over 22 million flexitarians in the UK and we’re seeing more and more of our customers making plant-based foods a key part of their diet. We have a dedicated team here at Sainsbury’s working on how we diversify our range of vegetarian and vegan products, across many different supermarket aisles – from exclusive chilled products through to Love Veg! ready meals and even quick options for on the go.
