The THIS frozen plant-based meat range is a new offering from the UK-based company to accelerate convenience for consumers looking to enjoy meat-free meals at leisure. The products include the This Isn't Pork Sausages, This Isn't Chicken Tenders and This Isn't Chicken Nuggets, which are each frozen and crafted with a blend of soy and pea protein. Priced between £2.75 and £3, the products are arriving at Sainsbury's locations in recyclable cardboard packaging.
Co-Founder Andy Shovel commented on the new THIS frozen plant-based meat range saying, "The overall growth of frozen meat-free has been pretty level the last few years. But when you look at how Gen Z-ers are taking to it and how our brand resonates with them, it felt like a no-brainer to launch our own frozen range. Plant-based products like ours can help provide a long-term boom for frozen food."
