A mince pie at Christmas is obligatory- so if you're vegan and can't bear to part with tradition, here are our top picks!
Christmas on Female First
Asda's Vegan Mince Pies
Asda’s 6 Mince Pies are the first to carry the Vegan Society Trademark, the most credible vegan label on the market to help identify products that are free from animal ingredients. With the nation having already spent £4m on mince pies by mid-October*, Asda’s vegan-friendly versions aim to increase the number of national mince pie nibblers, catering to a diet previously untouched by supermarkets.
Asda predicts 18 million individual vegan mince pies will be gobbled down this Christmas.
Ciara Loker, Bakery Product Developer at Asda, said: “This festive season, Asda is proud to announce we now offer mince pies that are suitable for vegans and have been accredited by the Vegan Society.
“At Asda, we are committed to innovation and developing the best quality products that can be enjoyed by everyone.
Asda’s vegan-friendly mince pies are just 89p for a box of 6.
OGGS® Mince Pies
In preparation for this year’s festivities, OGGS® is launching a range of entirely ethical Mince Pies available in Sainsbury’s from September RRP £2.75 for a 4 pack.
Like the rest of the OGGS® range, these fantastically festive, lovingly handmade Mince Pies are completely egg and dairy free and ethical from plant to plate.
The packaging itself is sustainably sourced with 100% recycled plastic which is fully recyclable and will completely biodegrade if it ends up in landfill.
The perfectly crumbly pastry case is made using wheat flour, sugar, vegetable oil (in place of butter) and they are brimming with a homemade vegan filling containing sultanas, currants, raisins, Bramley apple puree, vegetable suet, mixed spices and brandy. No part of any animal is used in the creation of the OGGS® range.
Tasty treats that are festive and kind to our planet, animals and people; so why not share these four melt in the mouth moments with your loved ones this Christmas? (Plus, Santa blinkin loves them!) Available in Sainsbury’s from September and priced from £2.75 for a 4 pack.
