Food News Prepare for World Vegan
Day and Veganuary, with Central Foods
Looking for inspiration for your plant-based menu items? Look no further … frozen food distributor Central Foods has an easy to serve range suitable for all venues and meal occasions.
And with World Vegan Day coming up on 1st November, now is the time to choose your options. It will also help prepare for Veganuary – the popular month-long celebration of all things vegan, which runs throughout January.
Gordon Lauder, MD of Central Foods, says that interest in plant-based menu swaps and meat alternatives continues apace, partly fuelled by environmental and animal welfare concerns and also the Covid pandemic, which gave people the chance to reflect on their health and eating habits.
It’s essential for venues to include vegan options on their menus now to cater for all customers.
“There’s a growing plethora of delicious, quick-to-prepare options that operators can serve to their customers looking for plant-based meals,” says Gordon. “But there are big differences in the ingredients used to make meat alternative products and the nutritional benefits that they provide.
“Soya is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids which the body needs but cannot make itself from other food sources. But soya sourced from overseas can be grown on land that contributes to the deforestation of the rainforests so operators looking for sustainable options need to monitor their sourcing supplies carefully.

“The soya used in the KaterVeg! vegan mince, sausages, burgers and bangers supplied by Central Foods is organic, non-GMO, EU soya grown in existing, established agricultural areas without the use of the controversial herbicide glyphosate, which makes it as good as it gets from both an environmental and a health point of view. The soya is also high in protein, low in fat, low in sugar, a source of fibre and has salt levels below the PHE 2024 targets – all positive attributes which will appeal to customers looking for healthy, sustainable, meat-free menu swaps.”
Other popular items in the Central Foods vegan range include the Mediterranean vegetable tart, Cajun spiced sweet potato roulade, bao buns, falafels, wraps, American pancakes, crumpets, sausage rolls, a range of tasty desserts, and a whole lot more.
