Vegetarian and vegan diets are rising in popularity as consumers continue to shift away from meat and animal products for ethical and/or health reasons, which is seeing brands like James Hall’s Great Northern Sandwich adapt accordingly.
The brand recently announced the launch of a new lineup of vegetarian and vegan sandwich options that are positioned as being a decidedly scrumptious option that are perfect for consumption out of the house. This is thanks to the convenient composition and packaging that they have for suit the time-poor consumer seamlessly.
Sales and Marketing Director for James Hall & Co. Peter Dodding explained the new products when he said, "These sandwiches and wraps have been developed to meet the ever-growing demand for plant-based, food-to-go dining options and we are excited to see how the range develops over the coming year.”
