We supply a number of great ingredients for food manufacturers looking to develop their range of vegan products.
Interest in the vegan diet, highlighted in Veganuary, has grown over the past few years and shows no sign of slowing. The Vegan Society estimates that just over 1% of the UK population is currently vegan and cites a report by Sainsbury’s indicating that in 2025, vegans and vegetarian look set to make up a quarter of the British population. There has also been heightened interest in the vegan diet among sports enthusiasts, following endorsements by high-profile athletes and last year’s documentary highlighting apparent performance benefits from a plant-based diet, The Game Changers.
Blagden supplies useful replacements for dairy-based ingredients, protein sources and other products which are well suited to vegan ranges. Our top picks for Veganuary are:
