Central Foods offers a great range for

Organisers of Veganuary 2024 have revealed that six months after taking part in the event, 81% of participants reported diet changes as a result of being involved.

Most of the participants had maintained a dramatic reduction in their consumption of animal products and 27% are still eating a fully vegan diet.

The survey also found that 95% who are not fully vegan said that they’re likely to try a vegan diet again in the future – which indicates that plant-based dining is very much here to stay and something that fast food operators should be aware of.

To help fast food venues offer great-tasting, easy-to-serve plant-based options to their customers during Veganuary and beyond, Central Foods has an ever-growing range of vegan products suitable for fast food menus.

The frozen food distributor’s most recent vegan introduction is the KaterVeg! vegan and gluten-free VG sausage.

Produced to the same recipe as the KaterVeg! vegan meatballs which are one of the most popular products supplied by Central Foods, the KaterVeg! VG sausage is made from soya and is a source of protein which is high in fibre and low in sugar.

Being suitable for vegan and gluten-free customers means it’s a versatile product to add to any fast food menu.

Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, said: “There’s a growing interest in reducing meat consumption in the UK, with more and more people choosing a flexitarian approach or cutting out meat and dairy completely. That’s why it’s a good idea for fast food venues to include vegan and vegetarian options on their menus.

“To make things easy, frozen food distributor Central Foods offers a superb range of plant-based products for the fast food sector.”

The range includes KaterVeg! spicy veg burgers, KaterVeg! vegetable nuggets, the KaterVeg! vegan quarter pounder, and the KaterVeg! spicy beanburger.

There are also options for fast food operators offering street-food-style menu items, such as Menuserve and KaterVeg! bao buns or KaterVeg! Moroccan-style cauli bites.

And for a sweet treat, there’s the vegan-friendly KaterBake apple fry pie – a rectangular hand-held pie that’s served in a cardboard sleeve.

Based in Northamptonshire with a  UK-wide distribution network, Central Foods offers an extensive range of frozen food products to the entire food service sector, including fast food venues.
