Aryzta is tapping into the growing demand for free-from alternatives with a new range of vegan savouries.

- Vegan Spicy Chickpea & Kale Pithivier (RSP £2.00 / 185g) – a French-inspired savoury pie recipe with a Moroccan twist, with a chickpea, sweet potato and apricot filling and a fragrant blend of herbs and spices; finished off with a parsley topping
- Vegan Spicy Chickpea Roll (RSP £1.50 / 180g) – a spicy blend of chickpeas, sweet potato, red peppers and tomato wrapped in a light puff pastry roll and sprinkled with paprika
- Vegan Saag Aloo Lattice Slice (pictured) (usually £1.75 – Christmas promo RSP £1.50 / 170g) –potato and spinach, blended with aromatic herbs and spices to invoke the flavours of India, and enveloped in a light and crisp puff pastry case
“The growth of free-from and ‘plant-power’ has been significant in the past couple of years, with more and more consumers now opting for vegan or ‘flexitarian’ diets for health or environmental reasons,” said Mary Byrne, Trade Marketing Manager for Retail at Aryzta Food Solutions.
“Innovation around vegetarian and vegan food-to-go has been a key driver of growth in 2018, and with Veganuary just around the corner, retailers can look forward to driving in-store bakery sales with a product offering that’s right on trend.”
