This is a sizeable market opportunity, with 2.4 million adults in the UK alone – or 6% of the adult population – suffering from a food allergy (Anaphylaxis, 2024).
Produced at the company’s newly certified allergen-free site in Kent, England, the brand’s plant-based ‘chicken’ is now made with pea protein (sourced locally), instead of the more commonly used soya and/or wheat. The range includes a variety of curry and kebab dishes, such as jalfrezi, madras and tikka masala curry varieties and teriyaki and karahi kebabs.
