Bakery chain Greggs is planning to launch vegan takes on its favourite products after the success of its veggie sausage roll, it has been revealed.
Favourites like steak bakes, doughnuts and pasties will soon be available in vegan-friendly versions, if development work is successful.
In an interview with LBC, Greggs chief executive, Roger Whiteside, said: "We are working away to see if we can come up with a version of all our bestselling lines because people want vegan options.”
He continued: "If we can produce something that tastes just as good as the meat version, then that will sell very successfully. That’s what’s been shown with the vegan sausage roll."
It has not yet been confirmed which products exactly are included in the plans for a vegan range, but with bestsellers in mind, it's likely we'll see favourites like the steak and chicken bakes, doughnuts and pasties being put to the test, the Manchester Evening News reports.
The news comes after the success of the bakers' vegan sausage roll - a Quorn-filled product which quickly sold out in stores across the UK when it was released earlier this year.
Whiteside had previously said that the vegan sausage roll was a key player in helping change the perception of Greggs from "an old fashioned bakery in the North to a modern food-on-the-go brand."
