Gosh! and Urban Eat announced a partnership in the UK as a way to support consumers who are curious about trying plant-based foods or simply seeking out a convenient option for their existing meat-free lifestyle.
The collaboration consists of two products including the Gosh! Falafel & Houmous Wrap and the Falafel, Lettuce and Tomato (F.L.T.) Sandwich, which are each packed with fiber and bold flavor. The products are packaged for quick sale to accommodate enjoyment out of the house and respond to need for convenient food varieties with meat-free recipes.
Marketing Director at Gosh! Caroline Hughes commented on the collaboration with Urban Eat saying, "As more people return to the office and juggle increasingly busy routines, the need for convenient, plant-based food that doesn’t compromise on flavour or nutrition has never been clearer. In 2026, we believe convenience and nutrition should go hand in hand."
