Budget Retailer Aldi is launching a vegan Christmas sandwich – priced at £1.69.
The festive meal launches in stores on November 1 – which is coincidentally World Vegan Day.
According to Aldi, it sold a record number of sandwiches in the lead up to Christmas last year. However, this is the first time the Plant Menu Vegan Feast Sandwich (£1.69) has been part of its festive range.

An Aldi representative sent a statement to PBN. It said: “The perfect plant-based festive feast on the go, the Plant Menu Vegan Feast Sandwich is set to be a crowd-pleaser for both vegans and non-vegans alike.”
They added that the sandwich features a parsnip fritter and shredded apple, sliced cabbage, and sultanas. In addition, it contains fried onions, spinach leaves and cranberry chutney.
Options
Aldi has launched several vegan Christmas options this year, not only mains, but also starters, sides, and a dessert.
Part of the line-up is a vegan turkey called the Plant Menu Vegan Turkey, for instance.
Aldi made the meat-alternative from a soy base and stuffed it with a cranberry, red pepper, apricot, and pumpkin seed filling, with a barbecue glaze.
