vEEF, Australia's first carbon-neutral plant-based brand, is set to revolutionise Aussie plates by launching four new chef-crafted plant-based meat products
SUNSHINE COAST, QLD, AUSTRALIA, September 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- “Pioneering a new era in sustainable eating, vEEF – Australia's first carbon-neutral plant-based brand from The Aussie Plant Based Co. – proudly unveils four ground-breaking plant-based meat products that achieve price parity with conventional meat - setting a new benchmark in eco-conscious, flavour-packed options,” says Alejandro Cancino, CEO and 3-Hatted Chef at The Aussie Plant Based Co.
MEETING MARKET DEMANDS
There is a significant shift in Australian dietary habits:
21% of Australians now identify as 'meat reducers', making it the most popular dietary choice in 2024.
79% go meat-free at least once weekly.
Plant-based meat sales in Australia surged 47% (2020-2023).
(Food Frontier, 2024)
"These trends indicate a growing appetite for plant-based alternatives," says Melissa Swinscoe, Marketing Manager at The Aussie Plant Based Co.
