The new items have been launched across two of its vegan lines – OMV! and Plant Based by Asda.
According to the retailer, the new items arrive amid surging interest in meat-free al fresco options, with Google searches for ‘vegetarian BBQ ideas’ soaring by 300 per cent.
Now these veg-curious diners have even more options to pick from thanks to Asda’s new vegan dishes, which include Bombay Inspired Meat-Free Bangers and Mushroom Sausages among others.

Host the perfect vegan BBQ
In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Asda’s Senior Director of Food Trends and Innovation, Jonathan Moore, marked the new releases by sharing three top tips on how to master the ultimate vegan BBQ.
He said: “Don’t be tempted to start cooking on your BBQ until the flames have died down, you want to cook over the coals when they are grey in colour.”
For his second tip, Jonathan said: “Don’t cook your food straight from the fridge to the BBQ, you want your food out of the fridge for 10-15 minutes before you start cooking.”
Outlining his third tip, he added: “Cook over direct and indirect heat depending on what you are cooking and how thick it is.
“When the coals are cooling slightly, you can drop vegetables like peppers and aubergine straight on and cook directly on them. This blisters the skin and adds another layer of flavour.”
Asda’s OMV! and Plant Based by Asda ranges are available online and in-store now.
