The ALDI Plant Menu range has been expanded by the grocer in the UK in anticipation of Veganuary to make it a little easier for shoppers to shift their diet towards plant-based alternatives in 2026. The private label range now includes the Vegetable Burger, Vegetable Popcorn Bites and No Chicken Pieces, which are priced at £1.99 each and will be available December 30, 2025. The products come as cost-effective alternatives to mainstream meat-free fare and will help shoppers to more easily transition to plant-based food options, especially when it comes to cost.
The new additions to the ALDI Plant Menu range also includes the Continental Cheese Alternatives that includes the Greek Style, Not'zarella and Italian Style Grated that are perfect for charcuterie boards.
