Making plant-based food accessible

In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, a spokesperson for Tesco said: “Grubby fitted really nicely into our ‘Dinner tonight’ strategy within produce, which is all about making it easier for our customers to whip up quick and healthy dinners.

Plant-based is also a high growth category for us, and it’s important we make it as accessible as possible for Tesco customers, which Grubby does perfectly.

“We can’t wait to see the brand evolve in Tesco over the coming months and years to come.”

Founder and CEO of Grubby, Martin Holden-White, described the launch as a ‘fantastic milestone’ to help make plant-based food ‘accessible to everyone’ – especially as 80 percent of its customers are non-vegans.

“We’re incredibly excited to lead the recipe kit movement into UK retail with the launch into Tesco. It’s a big moment for us,” he added.

 “Plant-based continues to be a super high growth category in retail, and sustainability and convenience were clearly a key priority for Tesco.

“Right from the start, we saw a huge opportunity in working together to deliver a range of super simple, plant-based recipes that appealed to their wide range of shoppers.”
