INDIA – Plantaway, India’s plant-based foods heavyweight, is introducing plant based sausages and pepperoni products. 

This comes after recently being honored as the ‘Best Plant-Based Food Brand 2024’ by the Plant-Based Foods Industry Association (PBFIA).

Made from high-quality pea protein and free from any preservatives, these products provide a delicious substitute for traditional meat. 

The Plant-Based Sausage packs a punch with 22 grams of protein per serving, while the Pepperoni delivers 16 grams of protein, both accompanied by a rich source of dietary fiber.

Romil Ratra, CEO of Plantaway, emphasizes the company’s commitment to catering to the evolving preferences of consumers who prioritize health and sustainability. 

As India’s leading plant-based food brand, Plantaway is dedicated to providing healthier, environmentally-friendly food choices. There is a significant demand for plant-based proteins, and we aim to make these options accessible to our customers anytime, anywhere. Our focus is on developing a diverse range of products that satisfy various meal preferences,” says Ratra.

The plant-based protein market is witnessing a substantial rise in popularity as more consumers turn towards alternatives to animal-based proteins. 

This shift is influenced by health considerations, ethical concerns, environmental awareness, and personal dietary choices. 

According to a report by Mordor Intelligence, the market for plant protein in India is projected to grow from US$0.91 billion in 2024 to US$1.21 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.85%. 

Consumers can purchase the new Plant-Based Sausage and Pepperoni through Plantaway’s direct-to-consumer website and via food delivery platforms Swiggy and Zomato in cities including Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad. 

The Plant-Based Sausage is available in a 200-gram pack priced at Rs. 375 (US$4.49), while the Plant-Based Pepperoni comes in a 125-gram pack for Rs. 375 (US$4.49).
