Vegan is the trend
Due to constantly growing demand, industrial ice cream manufacturers are once again expanding their product range in vegan ice cream this year, including:
- vegan chocolate ice cream, lemon sorbet or peanut-banana in the household package.
- vegan popsicles in the new variantRaspberry Swirl (fruity ice cream with raspberry flavor, infused with raspberry sauce and crunchy vegan chocolate)
- Vegan Almond or Vegan Sea Salt Caramel ice cream.
There are also vegan novelties in mini format for the smaller snack moments in between. In the gastronomy segment, vegan ice cream connoisseurs can look forward to, among other things, the new Cherry Cookie Vanilla, a mix of sour cherry sorbet, cookies and vegan vanilla ice cream. In addition to soy and almonds, oat or pea protein are used as plant sources. This gives customers a vegan alternative without sacrificing indulgence.
