Berlin, August 5th, 2021: Veganz, the vegan full-range supplier and market leader in plant-based pizzas among the manufacturer’s brands is now also available at Drakes Supermarkets. Drakes is the first supermarket chain in Queensland to offer Veganz 100% plant-based premium pizzas. The launch in Queensland follows the successful expansion of Veganz into New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia in March this year.
With its purely plant-based pizza, Veganz shows that you don\’t have to be vegan to love this pizza: a crispy, thin base, Italian in taste, free of milk and other animal products and, last but not least, good for the climate. With the Eaternity label [https://eaternity.org/score/]
In 2020 alone, the sale of over 1.5 million Verdura pizzas saved over 915 tonnes of CO2. Even in Australia, Veganz pizzas achieve a significantly better carbon footprint than comparable locally produced non-vegan frozen pizzas. With an emission value of 876 grams, the Veganz Verdura has significantly better values than a conventional frozen pizza made in Australia with animal products, that has CO2 emissions of approx. 1250 grams.
In Australia, the demand for plant-based products is booming. With Veganz, Drakes is now ranging the only 100 percent plant-based pizza in the freezer, which should delight fans of a vegan-vegetarian and health-conscious diet.
Tim Cartwright, General Manager Fresh Foods at Drakes Supermarkets states:
“At Drakes we are committed to providing products our customers want. We have had a lot of request for vegan and plant based products in the last 2 years and now these vegan and plant based items make up one of our fastest growing categories. We believe this is not a fad but a lifestyle trend that will continue well into the future”.
Veganz’ CMO Moritz Möller comments:
“It is great to see how climate-conscious nutrition with plant-based products is gaining a foothold in Australia. We are very much looking forward to working with Drakes Supermarkets, who are offering our top-selling vegan pizzas in their frozen pizza range as first Veganz products.”
