Calling all vegans because have we got some snack news for you! The creators of Maryland Cookies, Burton’s Biscuit Co, have just launched a new vegan version - to meet increasing shopper demand for mainstream vegan-friendly products.
They’re available now in Home Bargains for just 65p, and they’re sure to be a hit with vegan shoppers who are looking for the same great taste as the classic Maryland Choc Chip Cookie - at the same great price too.
Burton’s Biscuit Co has removed Whey powder making them safe to consume by vegans and those with a milk allergy - how good is that?
Now to find your local Home Bargains, we’ve popped the store locator here for ease. You’ll also find the latest opening and closing time information listed there as well.
Burton’s Biscuits continues to lead the way with accessible and permissible snacking, following the successful launch of Maryland Sugar Free, and Jammie Dodgers, both of which are accidentally vegan-friendly since 2020, after a recipe change to the iconic biscuit.
Alice Boardman, Senior Brand Manager from Burton’s Biscuit Co said: “Consumers are looking for easy-to-find Vegan products that are more exciting than a plain biscuit and are not commanding the premium price often associated with vegan friendly products. Our new packs with clear front of pack messaging and green plant-based design will allow vegan shoppers to easily navigate the biscuit aisle to a suitable choice, without relying on the back of pack.
“Maryland is synonymous with great tasting cookies and we’re not compromising on taste when it comes to our new Vegan Cookies. We’re proud to now be able to offer the same great taste of our choc chip cookies to vegan and flexitarian biscuit fans. We’re confident that the new vegan cookies will be a popular choice for anyone looking for an exciting vegan chocolate treat.”
With a whopping 40% increase in people switching to veganism in the last year alone, and over 22 million people now following a flexitarian diet, Burton’s promises the new vegan cookies will offer consumers following a plant-based diet a little more indulgence and excitement in their biscuit tin.
Now should you not live close enough to a Home Bargains, you can also pick up the accidentally vegan sugar-free Maryland Cookies at a Tesco or Sainsbury’s store near you, and online as well.
