The Tofoo Co has forged a partnership with vegan restaurant chain Temple of Seitan to introduce two innovative plant-based meat retail products for consumers looking to enhance meatless meals. These new offerings, set to launch in May, represent a significant expansion of the plant-based protein options available to consumers.
The first product, Original Seitan, is a chicken-flavored seitan block priced at £2.50 for a 225g pack. The second product, Pepperoni Seitan, is positioned as a 'smoky and spicy' alternative to traditional pepperoni. Priced at £2.50, both product add a unique flavor profile to plant-based diets.
The Original Seitan will be accessible for purchase in Tesco and Waitrose stores starting next month. On the other hand, the Seitan Pepperoni is now exclusively available at Waitrose.
