Concern for the environment, growing awareness of dietary intolerances and the search for healthier options have propelled vegetarian and vegan food choices to the mainstream.

Retailers, foodservice operators and wholesalers are working hard to meet the resulting demand for great tasting, plant-based food. The good news is that we are in an excellent position to help.

Naturally plant-based

As one of the world's leading suppliers of speciality vegetable oils, fats and related products, much of what we make and supply is produced from plants and contains no meat or animal products.

Take our Prep range of high performance frying oils for example, they are all plant-based, vegetarian and naturally vegan.

With many of our products featuring plant-based food ingredients, we can help your company provide plant-based solutions – whether that’s through private label solutions or our branded products.

Dairy free and vegan alternatives

From traditional butter and dairy creams to creamy mayo's and dressings, we have worked hard to develop impactful plant-based and dairy free alternatives which deliver in both cooking applications and flavour and texture without compromise.

Our Lion Vegan Mayo range tastes just like traditional mayonnaise and our new dairy free sauces and dressings in our Lion brand enable dairy free menus to deliver impactful taste; additions to the range include Chipotle Mayo and Thousand Island Dressing and the range is continuing to grow. Going forwards we are adopting a dairy free, vegan-first new product development approach within our Lion brand.

With a long history in butter alternatives, our Whirl products are inspired by traditional dairy butter! With rich buttery flavours and the convenience of a liquid form, our Vegan Whirl product delivers the flavour customers desire whilst offering a dairy free solution which is healthier, more cost effective and convenient.

Whether your company is looking for plant-based food ingredients, private label vegan food solutions or our branded vegan products, we have solutions.
