Traditional Meat Alternative Snacks

The Ginsters Vegan Mexican Chilli Empanada is Premium

The Ginsters Vegan Mexican Chilli Empanada is one of the latest offerings from the brand in the UK that will provide consumers with a traditional option to pick up when looking to satisfy their hunger in a meat-free manner.

The product is made with the Gold&Green Foods plant-based meat alternative from the Helsinki-based brand and includes a range of additional high-quality ingredients. This includes piquant pepper and ancho chilies in a Mexican-style sauce that has been combined with marinated Pulled Oats, which consists of a high-protein mix of oats, peas and faba beans.

Managing Director Kieran Hemsworth spoke on the new Ginsters Vegan Mexican Chilli Empanada saying, "This exciting range extension will continue to broaden appeal within the pre-family market, demonstrating that savory pastry is a category of innovation which we continue to lead. The debut of Pulled Oats into UK savoury pastry, alongside contemporary flavors in this range, will expand our core snacking and vegan offering – two increasingly popular trends that will continue to boom."
