The [Tofoo Co](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tofoo-co-2) has forged a partnership with vegan restaurant chain [Temple of Seitan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shirley-temple-italian-ice) to introduce two innovative plant-based meat retail products for consumers looking to enhance meatless meals. These new offerings, set to launch in May, represent a significant expansion of the plant-based protein options available to consumers.

The first product, Original Seitan, is a chicken-flavored seitan block priced at £2.50 for a 225g pack. The second product, Pepperoni Seitan, is positioned as a 'smoky and spicy' alternative to traditional pepperoni. Priced at £2.50, both product add a unique flavor profile to plant-based diets.

The Original Seitan will be accessible for purchase in Tesco and [Waitrose](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-this-products) stores starting next month. On the other hand, the Seitan Pepperoni is now exclusively available at Waitrose.
