The Taste & Glory deli slices are a premium range of vegan-friendly sandwich slices that will offer consumers the ability to create some of their favorite lunchtime meals in a meat-free manner.
The slices come in three varieties to choose from including No-Chicken, No-Ham and No-Beef, which are each crafted with a thick-cut profile to help mimic the texture of meat. The products will be launched into Asda locations in the UK starting on October 4 with a wider launch into Morrisons and Waitress locations later this year.
Brand Manager for Taste & Glory Beth George spoke on the new Taste & Glory deli slices saying, "Lunchtime is such an important part of the day, when we often need something quick but tasty, but when it comes to meat-free options, there’s not much to get excited about. We’re here to give shoppers something delicious to look forward to and to make plant-based sandwiches, wraps and salads something to shout about. Taste & Glory delivers on taste and texture, so we’re thrilled to launch our new meat-free Deli Slices range to give retailers opportunities for under-served occasions in the meat-free category. Consumers are crying out for delicious, meat-free lunchtime options and we’re here to shake up sandwiches like never before."
