# Accessibly Priced Vegan Burgers Asda's First Own-Label Plant-Based Burger Patties Cost £1.50 By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-05-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-based-burger-patties References: [corporate.asda](https://corporate.asda.com/blog/2018/05/01/our-new-plant-based-burgers-and-sausages-are-perfect-for-a-vegan-friendly-bbq) Specialty vegan products have a tendency to be on the expensive side, but British supermarket retailer Asda is introducing affordable packs of its first-ever own-label plant-based burger patties. The new vegan burger range has been fully accredited by the Vegan Society and features vegetable-packed meat alternatives that can be cooked straight from the freezer. While there are plenty of soy and imitation meat burger patties available to consumers, Asda's range first and foremost champions vegetables with unique flavors like Edamame Asparagus & Mint and Beetroot & Spinach. At select stores and online, these plant-based burger patties are available for £1.50 a pack. Asda's expanded plant-based range also includes Butternut Squash, Sweet Potato & Red Pepper Sausages, Mushroom & Kale Sausages and Sweet Potato Falafels. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 26% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Affordable Vegan Products:** Asda's introduction of affordable own-label plant-based burger patties disrupts the perception that vegan products are expensive. - **Vegetable-packed Meat Alternatives:** The focus on vegetable-based flavors in Asda's vegan burger range presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the meat alternative industry. - **Expansion of Plant-based Range:** Asda's expanded plant-based range, featuring sausages and falafels, reflects the growing demand for diverse plant-based options and introduces new opportunities for disruptive innovation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Grocery Retail:** Asda's introduction of affordable own-label vegan products disrupts the grocery retail industry by catering to the increasing demand for plant-based options at accessible prices. - **Alternative Protein:** The focus on vegetable-packed flavors in Asda's vegan burger range opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation within the alternative protein industry, highlighting the potential for market expansion beyond soy and imitation meat. - **Plant-based Foods:** Asda's expansion of their plant-based range, including sausages and falafels, contributes to the growth of the plant-based foods industry by offering a wider variety of options to meet consumer preferences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Accessible Plant Protein Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vemondo-plant.md) - [Lentil-Infused Mushroom Sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-sausages.md) - [Competitively Priced Plant-Based Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veef-products.md) - [Beet-Based Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfectseason-beetroot-patties.md) - [Plant-Based Beef Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this.md) - [Plant-Based Private Label Entrees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-plant-menu.md) - [Restaurant-Quality Plant-Based Meats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/redefine-meat-newmeat.md) - [Easy-to-Prepare Frozen Vegan Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frozen-vegan-products.md) - [Microwavable Vegan Burger Patties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-burger-patty.md)
