‘As delicious as the originals’

“Customers are looking to expand their eating habits with a heavier focus on plant-based and meat-free alternatives and for this, the new vegan range of pastries are ideal. We’re excited to offer these meat-free options that taste as delicious as the originals.”
Customers have taken to social media to share their delight at the new options, with one commenting: “Morrisons you have my heart”.

In a first for UK supermarkets, Morrisons launched its innovative vegan pork pies in 2019.

Morrisons is no stranger to vegan pastries, having launched a number of innovative plant-based options.
In fact, the supermarket launched the very first vegan pork pie in stores in 2019 as part of its festive range.
However, the supermarket also announced that it wouldn’t be selling its new vegan pork pies in Melton Mowbray, home of the traditional pork pie, to avoid offending locals who are fiercely proud of its heritage.
Furthermore, the supermarket even challenged legendary vegan sausage roll makers Greggs with a whopping foot-long vegan sausage roll.
The impressive new vegan pastry was double the length and four times the weight of its competitors, weighing in at a weighty 466g.
