While the focus on SDGs, food inclusion and healthy foods continues to grow, more and more companies continue to enter the plant-based market with new vegan products. VegeProject supports this growth by providing assistance and vegan certification to many of these companies, and our vegan certification mark is currently the most popular choice in Japan.
In this article, we would like to introduce you to some of the products that will be released in March using our certification mark.
Plant-Based Demi Glace Sauce and Plant-Based White Sauce by Heinz Japan Ltd.
The global brand Heinz, most well known in Japan for their ketchup and mustard products, has announced the release of plant-based demi glace sauce and white sauce, mainly for commercial use.
This series of plant-based sauces is the result of Heinz’s expertise and two years of product development. With a mellow and rich taste, these two sauces are an excellent option to expand the repertory of vegan dishes offered at stores. While this product is mainly targeted for commerces, the general public may also purchase them on Amazon.
