Aldi has added a swathe of plant-based snacks across multiple categories

Aldi has boosted its plant-based range with a massive influx of NPD for Veganuary.

The discounter has this week unveiled 14 new products, most of which will roll out from today (2 January).

Its flagship Plant Menu range, which was revamped in December to make it “more inclusive”, will gain two sausage rolls (rsp: 99p), three pizzas (rsp: £1.75) as well as new soya protein-based rosemary & onion sausages (rsp: 99p/300g).

It will also see the return of three ready meal SKUs – smoky BBQ jackfruit, red pepper & mango curry and yellow Thai curry (all rsp: £1.99/400g) until March - all three were first launched as limited editions for Veganuary last year.
