Find Vegenaise in Sainsbury’s

by

A few days ago I broke news of Vegenaise and a couple more Follow Your Heart products being launched into 130 Sainsbury’s stores around the UK.

The news came close to breaking the vegan Internet but of course people wanted to know which stores were selling the products.

I didn’t know then. I do now.

Click this Sainsbury’s Store List to see the full list of Sainsbury’s stores stocking the Original Vegenaise, Vegan Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and the Organic Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing.

How exciting! Is your local on the list?

Breaking News: Follow Your Heart news

by

Breaking vegan news is coming thick and fast these days, so it can sometimes feel like we might be reaching a point where it stops being a big deal.

Well, don’t get jaded just yet because this next piece of news is certainly worth getting excited about.

Superstar brand Follow Your Heart from California is launching three of its products across 130 Sainsbury’s locations from Sunday October 8, 2017. Yes, this weekend!

This launch includes the finest vegan mayo product on the planet, Vegenaise. This legendary plant-based mayo just celebrated its 40th anniversary. 40 years old and we just got it listed in a major mainstream UK supermarket.

Better late than never! Here is the full list of participating stores. Sainsbury’s Store List

Alongside the iconic vegan mayo, Sainsbury’s stores will also be stocking the Vegan Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and the Organic Vegan Caesar Salad Dressing.

You can send your love to Follow Your Heart via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Congratulate them on this giant leap forward and let them know how happy you are to have them in the UK with more accessibility.

Don’t forget that you can also buy Follow Your Heart products from local independent health food stores. Do that when you can, people! Support local business.

Yay for the growth of veganism and vegan mayo.

 

New vegan milk in Sainsbury’s

by

I wrote about this brand coming to the UK a little while ago, but the time has finally arrived.

Cailfia Farms plant-based milks have started showing up in Sainsbury’s stores around the UK.

Dean, a super friendly reader, sent me this photo taken inside Sainsbury’s South Woodford.

I’m super excited about Califia Farms now being available around the UK. These milks are delicious.

I’m also curious about the Soya Dream  Oat Dream bottles on the shelf below. I’ve haven’t tried yet and I can’t wait to get my hands on these.

Have you tied any of these new plant milks?

Pudology now easier to find

by

You all know and love the gorgeous vegan dessert pots known as Pudology. I wrote about their jumbo sized packs back here.

Well, good news just got better.

You can now find Pudology in 227 Sainsbury’s stores around the UK! The brand announced this huge news via their Instagram last week.


You can find out if a Sainsbury’s near you is stocking Pudology by searching this list on their website. You also find independent stockists of the brand who you should definitely support as well.

Yay for the widespread availability of vegan desserts!

Sainsbury’s is stepping up on veganism

by

Hey, have you all noticed the shift happening over at Sainsbury’s in regards to promoting vegan food?

Within the space of a week, the UK grocery giant has posted three vegan cooking videos to their Facebook page.

Check them out here:

Wow. Three pretty spectacular vegan recipes shared by one of the biggest retailers on the planet. They have even gotten two leading vegan food personailities to help with the videos (Heart of Cake and CookDaily).

This is a clear indication of how powerful veganism has become in the UK. These companies do not undertake anything without market research and a lot of consideration.

That they are making vegan options a big part of their current advertising campaign says volumes. Times are changing and if they don’t get on board, they are going to miss out and they know it.

In related news, Sainsbury’s have apparently teamed up with a group of scientists to redesign their store layouts to encourage customers to buy less meat.

The following is lifted from a story in The Guardian:

Oxford University scientists will work with Sainsbury’s executives in a programme that will see supermarkets redesigned. Proposals include: placing vegetarian alternatives on the same shelves as meat products; giving vouchers and loyalty points to shoppers who choose vegetarian products; and providing recipes and leaflets that outline how shoppers can eat less meat.

What do you all think of this push on plant-based consumerism by Sainsbury’s?

If you don’t follow me over on my Facebook page, you missed out on the hilarity that is my Sainsbury’s shopping adventure.

Thankfully, the social network now allows for video embedding so you no longer have to suffer in the wilderness.
