Waitrose Launches Plant-Based Egg Fried Rice And Pancakes

UK supermarket Waitrose has added a number of new vegan options to its shelves – including egg fried rice and fluffy American pancakes, according to Vegan Food UK.

Vegan Food UK is an online organization sharing vegan food news, reviews, vlogs, and more. It operates across multiple social media platforms, with a Facebook group, Facebook page, YouTube channel, and Instagram account.

The new items have arrived on shelves in time for Veganuary – which encourages people to try a vegan diet in January. In recent years, retailers have released new products to tie-in with the initiative.
