In order to appeal to all dietary restrictions, high-end company Magnum debuts two vegan ice cream bars. The newly launched duo of products is essentially a dairy-free interpretation of the company's all-time favorites — its classic and its almond flavors. The product line makes use of creamy peanut protein-based ice cream that is dipped in "sustainably-sourced velvety vegan chocolate."
Both vegan ice cream bars have been approved by the European Vegetarian Union and this development will, without a doubt, delight those who don't eat animal by-products. Currently, Magnum has released its delicious chocolate creations in Sweden and Finland, with the intention of distributing the tasty product to major stores in September. Hopefully, the vegan ice cream bars will also be launched in other European countries.
