Squeaky Bean launches ready-to-eat crispy vegan bacon

From veganfoodandliving.com

The new streaky bacon-style rashers join Squeaky Bean’s list of popular meat alternatives, including pastrami and smoked ‘salmon’

No more missing bacon sandwiches – these realistic, first-to-market Squeaky Bean Crispy Bacon-Style Strips are salty, sweet and have the texture of crunchy bacon rashers.

What’s more, they’re ready to eat straight from the pack (or you can heat them up in the microwave or air fryer).

According to research by product intelligence platform Vypr, bacon is something that 50% of vegans and vegetarians still miss after giving up meat.

The new Squeaky Bean Crispy Bacon-Style Strips are both high in protein and fibre and are perfect for bacon sandwiches, Caesar-style vegan salads or chopped into a vegan carbonara.

Where to buy Squeaky Bean Crispy Bacon-Style Strips

Excited to try this new launch? The hyper-realistic vegan streaky bacon strips will be available to buy from selected Sainsbury’s stores and online from 25th September 2024. They will be priced at £2.75.

Other popular products by the brand include Squeaky Bean Beechwood Smoked Salmon, Squeaky Bean Chargrilled Cajun Mini fillets, Squeaky Bean Cooking-Style Chorizo and Squeaky Bean New York Pastrami-Style Slices.

Many of the meat alternatives have won awards, including the Vegan Food & Living Product Awards and The Guild of Fine Foods Great Taste Awards.

Why do people buy vegan meat?

Many vegans give up meat because they love animals and do not want to contribute to their suffering. Recent investigations into RSPCA-Assured Farms show how pigs are mistreated and abused within our food systems.

Animal agriculture is also one of the key drivers of climate change.

Meat substitutes are healthier than processed meat and even processed vegan foods are better for the environment than meat.
