The McDougalls Vegan Jelly range has been announced by Premier Foods as a lineup of products for low-sugar desserts that don't skimp on taste or texture. The products are crafted with a vegan-friendly recipe that doesn't have any animal-sourced gelatin in the mix and boasts no added sugar to give it an HFSS-compliant formulation in the UK. The product comes in four flavors including. Raspberry, Strawberry, Lime and Orange, and is also gluten-free and free from all major allergens.
Senior Culinary Advisor at Premier Foods Louise Wagstaffe spoke on the McDougalls Vegan Jelly range saying, "Whether served on its own or with fresh fruit, our new range of jelly offers a simple, cost-effective way to add fun and flavour to school desserts, without compromising on nutrition. It offers an exciting opportunity for school caterers to bring jelly back in a healthier, more inclusive way.”
