UK-based vegan brand Moo Free has announced two new additions to its festive product lineup that will provide consumers with an alternative option to try out this holiday season.
The new products include the Olivia the Bear and the White Choccy Snowball, which are both soy-free and also gluten-free. The treats will be launching at major supermarkets in the UK including Waitrose, Tesco and Morrisons, while also being available online directly from the brand.
CEO of Moo Free Andrea Jessop commented on the new products saying, "Sales of our Christmas range have enjoyed double-digit growth each year, alongside the success of our all-year-round range. We are appealing to the increasing number of people following a range of diets from gluten-free to vegan. Our 2021 Christmas range is the largest yet with something for everyone, so we would urge retailers to stock up early."
