2. Magda plant-based. The new Planton Greek plant-based vegangurt by Magda plant-based is a true innovation. This product contains a whopping 96 billion live bifido+ cultures. Made with fava bean protein, shea oil, pea protein, and coconut extract, it’s available in Lidl Polska stores and Magda plant-based online shop.

3. Project Cocagne. An initiative by Bel Group, the company behind brands like Babybel and The Laughing Cow, focuses on developing fermented and aged plant-based cheeses. Supported by industry leaders like Lallemand Specialty Cultures and Bpifrance, the project aims to deliver better taste, local ingredients, and affordable prices.

5. H!P Chocolate | B Corp. The British vegan chocolate brand has launched a seasonal bar called Figs In Blankets. This blend of oat milk chocolate, figs, and vegan bacon is not only a delicious treat but also supports charitable initiatives inspired by a contest organized by Amazon and The King’s Trust.

6. All Y’all. The brand surprises with its new snack, Big Crunchy Cheezy Bits. These cheesy-flavored crunchy bites, made from organic soybeans, offer 33g of protein per serving.

8. Turkey. For the first time, Turkey’s Food Codex includes regulations for labeling vegan and vegetarian products. Unfortunately, the ones we fight in every other country, incl. Poland. The rules prohibit using terms like “milk” for plant-based beverages or other names traditionally used for animal-based products to avoid consumer confusion.

9. Good Calories. The Polish brand has introduced oyster mushroom nuggets. A quick, healthy meal solution that’s full of flavor and crunch!
