Europe’s largest health and wellness retailer, Holland & Barrett, has launched a game-changing new food range with over 70 vegan products including cheese, chocolate, ready meals and snacks – all labelled with ‘plant points’.
The range is made up of brand new own-brand food products as well as specialist artisan items, and includes chilled goods, healthy snacks and storecupboard items – all of which have plant points added to encourage customers to eat 30 different fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices each week.
Developed by nutritionists, scientists, ingredient experts and chefs, including the former Director of Product Development at Marks & Spencer, April Preston, the range includes over 70 vegan products as well as items that cater for specialist diets.
Healthy and inclusive new vegan products
“Healthier food is at the heart of H&B’s DNA – we started life as a local grocers over 150 years ago, and now we’ve brought together the very best of our heritage in nutrition with the latest thinking in healthy eating and our culinary wizardry,” said April, now Global Product Director for the chain.
She continued: “We’re known for our support for the millions of people in the UK who follow specialist diets, from vegan to lower carb, low and no sugar as well as those with food allergies or intolerances. Our nutritionists, chefs, ingredient specialists and in-house scientific experts have created a truly diet-inclusive range that means no one should miss out on the pleasure of eating deliciously tasty food.”
