The Linda McCartney Foods Gluten Free Vegemince™ has been launched by the brand as a new version of its signature vegan mince meat alternative that further accommodates the dietary requirements of consumers.
The product is targeted towards catering, school and public eating scenarios where gluten-free options are a necessity. The product still maintains a high-protein composition, while also being low in sugar and free from eggs to work well for children who are allergic.
Marketing and Strategy Director Rebecca Fairbairn spoke on the Linda McCartney Foods Gluten Free Vegemince™ saying, "As the original meat-free pioneer, Linda McCartney Foods remains a brand that caterers and consumers trust, combining great taste, strong nutritional credentials and dependable performance in busy kitchens. Vegemince™ is the nation’s best-tasting mince and already a well-established product in foodservice. Moving to a Gluten Free recipe allows caterers to serve a broader range of dietary requirements without changing how they cook or serve it.”
