Asda is launching an ambient vegan aisle

 

Seemingly the first supermarket in the UK to do so, Asda has announced that it is going to introduce a new ambient vegan aisle. These will be implemented at all of its 359 stores and will feature more than a hundred products.

According to the firm, the range of items will be showcased in two bays and will exclusively be goods derived from plants. One of them will be for savoury products such as proteins, cooking sauces and condiments and the other will feature snacks and sweets. The merchandise that will be stocked includes Asda’s own-label rice and lentil bowls, other brands like Mrs Crimble’s, Vego and Galaxy which will offer two exclusive chocolate flavours. There will also be a special falafel mix from Bosh. Product prices are going to be ‘market leading’.

This new layout is going to considerably simplify the buying process for vegans which will allow them to save time. Asda’s buying manager Sarah Thornewill, advanced, “We understand that customers want a quick and simple shopping experience, and this shouldn’t be restricted by dietary requirements”.

The supermarket company is also hoping that merchandising all vegan products together will offer clients inspiration, whether they are following a plant-based diet or they just wish to reduce their meat consumption.
