THIS Isn’t Pork Sausages are making their way to 19 IKEA cafeteria locations in the UK to provide shoppers with a deliciously meaty option to try out that prioritizes a plant-based recipe. The sausages will be used by IKEA in its new Veggie Sausage & Mash meal that comes priced at £4.95 as a substantial yet cost-effective option for diners to try out. The sausages at IKEA come as part of the retailer's continued commitment to shifting many of its food options to plant-based varieties and also coincide perfectly with Veganuary to support shoppers who are trying out meat-free diets this month.
CEO of THIS Mark Cuddigan commented on the THIS Isn’t Pork Sausages arriving at IKEA saying, "We’re thrilled to partner with IKEA to bring our sausages to even more people – two purpose-driven brands working together to serve great food. The only instruction you’ll need for our sausages is…eat them before someone else does!”
