Asda UK is celebrating Veganuary with the launch of a new range of affordable vegan products as part of its new Plant Based range.
Launching in stores today, all products in the range will come in completely recyclable packaging with many products on sale “at a lower price point than competitors,” with prices starting at just £1.50.
According to the company, the range is, “perfect for those looking for some healthier alternatives in the post-Christmas period” with an impressive “60% of the new products featuring Asda’s new health icon, with 40% having ‘no red flags’ for fat, salt, sugar and saturates”

The entire range is accredited by the Vegan Society and Asda believe it’s “perfect for vegans, those taking part in Veganuary, or someone who wants to cut down on their meat intake generally.”
Asda believes the range is unique as the meat-alternatives are largely mushroom-based, rather than soy-based, making it more sustainable, without compromising on quality or taste.
