Squeaky Bean Salmon Style Flakes have been developed by The Compleat Food Group's alt meat brand as a versatile, flavorful plant-based fish product that's perfect for use in a wide range of recipes.
The product has a plant-based fish composition with a flake style that's paired with a Sweet Chilli Marinade to further increase its overall flavor. The product is positioned to support consumers in the UK looking to actively reduce their intake of meat in favor of plant-based options. The product is launching at Sainsbury's this month in 120-gram packs for £3.25.
Chief Marketing Officer at The Compleat Food Group Yvonne Adam spoke on the Squeaky Bean Salmon Style Flakes saying, "With the UK fish market valued at £2 billion, and fish alternatives growing by 34% year-on-year, Squeaky Bean is leading the charge in meeting consumer demand for tasty, sustainable options that cost significantly less than traditional salmon and we’re thrilled to be first to market with a product that’s bold, convenient and genuinely delicious."
