Veganuary ideas… as Central Foods expands its KaterVeg! vegan range for fast food operators Frozen food distributor Central Foods has introduced a new selection of vegan products to its KaterVeg! range to help fast food operators satisfy the increasing demand for plant-based options.
T
he KaterVeg! vegan quarterpounder, KaterVeg! vegan sausage and KaterVeg! vegan meatballs are all made with seasoned textured soya protein and are ideal for customers looking for vegan-friendly take-out or dine-in items.
Gordon Lauder, managing director of Central Foods, said: “Our KaterVeg! range of
products has been growing steadily, as demand rises from consumers for meat-free options. We’re excited to be adding to the range with these three delicious products that taste great and are simple and convenient to prepare and serve. “They are perfect for fast food operators who are looking for new ideas to serve to their vegan and meat-reducing customers as part of Veganuary and beyond.” Help your bottom line: pimp up the KaterVeg! vegan burger by popping in a gourmet bun with crunchy salad and customers will be willing to pay a premium any time of day or serve the KaterVeg! vegan sausage in a bread muffin or bap, for a tasty, meatfree breakfast or lunch item. For a substantial sandwich that will appeal to your plant-based customers or those customers who are looking for a tasty alternative to meat, pack a sub roll with KaterVeg! vegan meatballs and serve with a sauce and crunchy salad, or simply serve on their own with chips and sauce for a quick and easy eat-in or takeaway meat-free meal. The new KaterVeg! soya-based vegan range joins the KaterVeg! vegetable-based vegan fast food range that includes nuggets, sausages, spicy beanburgers, the famous Flamin’ Inferno burgers and – not forgetting – the temptingly tasty 6” vegan sausage rolls that flew off the shelves when they were launched in time for Veganuary at the start of this year! “Veganuary is growing in popularity – more than one million people have taken the pledge to ‘eat vegan’ in January since the meat-free event was launched seven years ago and many more take part unofficially – and we’re pleased to be supporting fast food operators by supplying a range of popular vegan-friendly products for their menus,” added Gordon Lauder. “Veganuary is a great time to introduce new meat-free products to any fast food outlet, so we’d urge operators looking to boost their meat-free offering to take a look at the KaterVeg! range, including these tasty new products which we’ve just launched.” Central Foods is one of the UK’s leading frozen food distributors, supplying a great selection of products for the fast food sector.
