Central Foods launches new KaterVeg! Vegan and gluten-free VG sausage for foodservice
Frozen food distributor Central Foods has introduced a new vegan and gluten-free sausage to its free-from range for the food service sector.
The KaterVeg! vegan and gluten-free VG sausage is made to the same recipe as the KaterVeg! vegan meatballs which are one of the most popular products supplied by Central Foods.
Made from soya, the KaterVeg! VG sausage is a source of protein and is high in fibre and low in sugar, and is suitable for vegan and gluten-free diners.
Gordon Lauder, managing director of Central Foods, said: “Our KaterVeg! vegan meatballs are a great product and very popular so we decided to use the same recipe to create the VG sausage.
“It’s moist, juicy and really tasty and is a super addition to our plant-based sausage and burger range. This new product will provide our food service customers with a delicious option that is suitable for both vegans and gluten-free diners.”
Each sausage weighs 50g and the KaterVeg! VG sausages are supplied frozen in packs of 40.
The KaterVeg! range is Central Foods’ own brand range which offers a wide variety of meat-free and vegetable-based products to the catering sector. All are suitable for vegetarians, many are also suitable for vegans, and a growing number are suitable for both vegans and coeliacs who require gluten-free options.
Central Foods currently sells to over 180 independent wholesalers, as well as larger national and regional wholesalers. Based in Northamptonshire, the company is proud to be a catering partner across the whole food service sector, supplying to hotels, restaurants, bars, universities, schools, pubs, care homes, garden centres, leisure outlets and more.
