Sales of vegan products at JJ Foodservice has increased by 48% since 2019. JJ Foodservice has responded by expanding its vegan range across six branches: Enfield, Sidcup, Dagenham, Leicester, Leeds and Manchester.
Sezer Ozkul, chief product officer for JJ Foodservice, said: “Meat-free innovation is tasty, creative and constantly evolving – it’s no surprise consumers want more. We look forward to working with more supplier partners to develop our meat-free range.”
New products include the Quorn ChiQin Buttermilk Style Burger, Quorn ChiQin Crispy Wings and Quorn ChiQin Fillets, which are all designed specifically for hospitality menus and will be supported with promotions until the end of February.
Roberta Radzvilaviciute, national account executive at Quorn Foods, added: “January is the highest penetration month in meat-free. It’s when more new people choose to try a vegan, vegetarian or flexitarian diet. JJ Foodservice customers can now add comforting and messy, vegan builds to menus without compromising on taste, health or sustainability.
“We are excited to be working with JJ Foodservice, a like-minded company who shares our values. As a leader in independent QSR, we see JJ as a business who truly cares about delivering what customers need.”
